The top three teams qualified for the 2019 Pan American Games men's football tournament, in addition to Peru who had automatically qualified as hosts.[2] However, due to the re-introduction of the CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in 2020, the tournament was not used for qualifying for the 2020 Summer Olympics men's football tournament.[3]

Ecuador won their first title. Argentina finished second, defending champions Uruguay finished third, while Colombia finished fourth.[4]
