In the final, Brazil defeated Colombia in a penalty shoot-out after a 4–4 draw in extra time to win their fifth consecutive and a record-extending ninth overall title.

Unlike all previous editions, the tournament did not act as South American qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup with a separate qualifying tournament called the Women's Nations League being organised instead. However, it did provide two slots for the 2028 Summer Olympics women's football tournament.^[3] In addition to Peru (who qualified automatically as hosts) it also provided three more places for the 2027 Pan American Games tournament.

Knockout stage

Main article: 2025 Copa América Femenina knockout stage

In the knockout phase, if the fifth-place play-off, semi-finals and third-place play-off were level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, no extra time would be played and the match would be decided by a direct penalty shoot-out. If the final was level at the end of the normal playing time, extra time would be played (two periods of 15 minutes each), where each team would be allowed to make an extra substitution. If still tied after extra time, the final would be decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the champions.^[3]

Controversies

MUFP and AUF Pre-tournament Labor Dispute

The Uruguayan women's national team refused to train for one week prior to the start of the final tournament in protest of alleged inadequate preparations by the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) for the competition.^[8] Among the demands made by the players union, the Mutual Uruguaya De Futbolistas Profesionales (MUFP), were the full use of the national team training centre—the Complejo Celeste in Barros Blancos, improved training conditions and equipment, and an increase in per diem wages. The MUFP announced the resolution of the dispute on the evening of Tuesday, 8 July, three days before Uruguay's opening match against Ecuador on Friday, 11 July. To the International Federation of Professional Footballers (FIFPRO), MUFP General Secretary Mitchell Duarte said about the agreement:

"While there is still a lot of room for improvement, we are in a process of continuous improvement. There was a very good working relationship in this instance, and both parties were satisfied with the agreements reached."^[9]

Lack of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the Group Stage

Chilean defenders Yanara Aedo and Fernanda Pinilla criticized CONMEBOL's decision not to utilize VAR technology throughout the group stage of the tournament, with Aedo saying:

"It’s disrespectful that we don’t have VAR. For us, as players, it’s shameful to watch the [differences between] the Euros and the Copa América...In our last match [a 3-0 win over Peru], a legitimate goal was disallowed. It’s good that the game was broadcast so people could see the two penalties we weren’t given. I’m not saying Argentina didn’t deserve to win but VAR would have changed the game for them and us, for every player. The organisers should get their act together because we’re as much footballers as the men are."^[10]

Accusations of Inadequate Pre-match Warm-up Conditions

Following Brazil, hosts of the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, and Bolivia's group stage match at Estadio Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda, multiple Brazilian squad members, including veteran star Marta, and manager Arthur Elias publicly condemned CONMEBOL's decision to prohibit warm-ups on the match pitch.^[11][12] Starting striker Kerolin took to social media to voice her frustrations; she said, in reference to the concurrent UEFA Women's Euro 2025:

"While in Europe they break technology records, we're warming up in a MAXIMUM 20m room with the smell of paint. WEIRD!"^[13][14]

Midfielder Ary Borges directly challenged the president of CONMEBOL, Alejandro Domínguez, on the teams' warm-up conditions and other equity concerns—including the selection of tournament venue and the choice by CONMEBOL not to utilize VAR in the tournament's group stage; after the Bolivia match, she told commentator and former Brazilian international, Francielle Alberto:

"...it’s very difficult, because last year we had a men’s Copa América at good times, in good stadiums and we see...this disregard for women’s football and it’s a shame."

She added to Brazilian news outlet, Globo Esporte:

"Ask [Domínguez] if he could warm up in a 5 to 10 meter space that smells of paint. I think we had the example of the Men’s Copa América, with a huge structure. Why is the women’s tournament having this kind of thing?"^[15]

CONMEBOL later reversed the decision, saying in a statement to Reuters:

"From now on, in addition to goalkeepers who already had a 15-minute warm-up period on the field, outfield players will also be allowed to warm up on the pitch for the same duration... This decision was made after a detailed assessment of the condition of the playing surfaces at the competition’s stadiums to date, and after taking into account feedback from some participating teams."^[16]
