2014 Copa América Femenina

2014 Copa América Femenina
The 2014 Copa América Femenina was the seventh edition of the Copa América Femenina, an association football competition for women's national teams in South America affiliated with CONMEBOL. The tournament was played between 11 and 28 September 2014 in Ecuador.
Qualification for other tournaments
Same as previous editions, the tournament served as CONMEBOL's qualifier for the FIFA Women's World Cup, the Pan American Games football tournament, and the Olympic football tournament, with the following qualifying rules:
For the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada, the top two teams qualified directly, and the third-placed team advanced to a play-off against the fourth-placed team of the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship.
For the 2015 Pan American Games women's football tournament in Canada, the top four teams qualified.
For the 2016 Summer Olympics women's football tournament in Brazil, since Brazil already qualified automatically as hosts, the top-ranked team other than Brazil qualified. Since Brazil won the tournament, the runners-up Colombia joined Brazil as the two women's national teams from South America in the 2016 Olympics.
