# Football at the 2019 Pan American Games – Women's tournament

The Women's football tournament at the 2019 Pan American Games was held in Lima during July and August 2019.

## Qualification

A total of eight women's teams qualified to compete at the games, four CONMEBOL teams and four CONCACAF teams. For CONMEBOL, the three teams ranked third to fifth at the 2018 Copa América Femenina qualified, while Peru automatically qualified as hosts. For CONCACAF, the best team from each of the three zones (North American, Central American and Caribbean) at the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship qualified; however, both United States and Canada declined to participate to focus on the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, so Mexico qualified for the North American berth, while Costa Rica also qualified by decision of CONCACAF.
