Due to the withdrawal of Venezuela from the competition (situation with COVID-19), a new system and schedule of matches for the South American Men’s Championship has been determined. The competition will now be played in a single round-robin format (each team plays with every other team once). In the previous format, it was planned that the tournament would be played in two pools, and the two best teams from each group would advance to the semifinals.
The South American Championship will be held from September 1 to 5 in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. The national teams of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru are participating in this competition. All matches will be played at the Nilson Nelson Colosseum.
Argentina, the runner-up in the previous edition, opens the first round against Colombia. The current champion Brazil starts participation against Peru. Chile will start the competition in the second round in a match against Peru. The competition will end with a replay of the match for third place from the Tokyo Olympics between Brazil and Argentina and the match between Colombia and Chile.
