The South American Futsal World Cup qualifiers (Spanish: Eliminatorias Sudamericanas de Futsal) is a futsal tournament organized by CONMEBOL to determine which South American teams qualified for the FIFA Futsal World Cup. The tournament has been organized every four years since 2012. Prior to it, the Copa América de Futsal was used as the South American qualifying tournament.
