2019 Copa América de Futsal

The 2019 CONMEBOL Copa América de Futsal was going to be the 13th edition of the Copa América de Futsal, the international futsal championship under FIFA rules organised by CONMEBOL for the men's national teams of South America. The tournament was originally to be held in Los Ángeles, Chile between 23–30 October 2019.[1] However, on 22 October 2019, one day before the start of the tournament, CONMEBOL announced that it was cancelled due to the Chilean protests.[2]
