The entire group phase will be played in the Palogrande of Manizales and Francisco Rivera Escobar de Palmira, while the final phase will be in Palmira and Cali.

Competition format and World Cup quotas
The tournament has two phases, being the group and then a final instance that will leave four selections classified to the U-17 Women's World Cup.
The group stage system is all system against all, in which the first three selections of each area will classify the final phase.
After the six classified selections are confirmed, a final phase will be played with the same system of all against all, but only the first four positions will be those granted by the World Cup quotas, while the champion will be the one who occupies the first box.
