Bolivia was named host country of the tournament during the CONMEBOL Executive Committee meeting held on 20 December 2012 at CONMEBOL headquarters in Luque, Paraguay.[1][4] It was the third time that Bolivia hosted the tournament, having previously done so in 2005 and 2009.[5]
Four cities were candidates to host the competition: Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, Tarija and Sucre.[6] In May 2013, Santa Cruz and Tarija were announced as the host cities,[7] and Montero was added as an extra venue days before the start of the tournament.[8]
The draw for the groups composition was held on 20 September 2023, 10:00 BOT (UTC−4), at the Liga del Fútbol Profesional Boliviano headquarters in Santa Cruz.[9][10] The hosts Bolivia and defending champions Brazil were seeded into Group A and Group B, respectively, and assigned to position 1 in their group, while the remaining eight teams were drawn to one of the two groups.[11]
