Draw
The draw for the tournament was held on 12 September 2024, 14:00 PYT (UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL Convention Center in Luque, Paraguay.[21] The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four.
Two teams were directly assigned to the head of groups A and B.
- To Group A: as 2023 Copa Libertadores Femenina champions, Corinthians (Brazil 1)
- To Group B: the champions of the host association, Olimpia (Paraguay 1)
