Draw[]

The draw was held on 24 October 2014, 10:00 PYT (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Headquarters in Luque, Paraguay.[8][9] The ten teams involved were settled in five "pairing pots" (Argentina–Brazil, Paraguay–Uruguay, Colombia–Ecuador, Chile–Peru, Bolivia–Venezuela) to be drawn into two groups of five. Initially Argentina and Brazil were announced as seeded teams,[10] however, Paraguay (as hosts) and Uruguay were finally the teams seeded into Group A and Group B respectively and assigned to position 1 in their group. The remaining teams, including Argentina and Brazil, were drawn to determine their group as well as their position within it.[11]

  2. greater number of goals scored in all group matches
  3. better result in matches between the tied teams
  4. drawing of lots
