Qualified teams for Summer Olympics Same as previous Youth Championships that were held one year prior to the Olympics, CONMEBOL used the tournament to determine which men's under-23 national teams from South America qualify for the
Olympic football tournament. Since
Brazil already qualified automatically as hosts of the
2016 Summer Olympics men's football tournament, the top-ranked team other than Brazil qualified directly, while the second top-ranked team other than Brazil advanced to a
play-off against the third-placed team of the
2015 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship for the final berth in the Olympics. Since Brazil finished third in the tournament,
Argentina qualified for the Olympics, while
Colombia advanced to the
play-off, where they defeated the
