The 2022 CONMEBOL Futsal Evolution League (Spanish: CONMEBOL Liga Evolución Futsal 2022) is the fourth edition of the CONMEBOL Futsal Evolution League, a continental league competition for South American men's national futsal teams. It was held from 31 August to 4 September 2022 in its regular season (south zone) with the north zone and the finals to be held in dates to be confirmed.
Organised by the governing body for South American football, CONMEBOL, as part of its Development Department's Evolution Program, all ten members of the continental confederation took part, with both senior and under 20s national teams participating in the league events.[1]
The league returned after three years of absence due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in South America. As of this edition, the tournament was renamed CONMEBOL Futsal Evolution League instead of South American Futsal League, the name used in the first three editions (2017, 2018 and 2019).[2][3]
The teams are first divided into two geographically based zones (North and South) to compete in a round robin tournament against other members of their own zone during the regular season; the points earned by both the senior and under 20s teams are combined. The winners of each zone then proceed to face each other in the finals to contest the title.[2]
The south zone regular season event took place in Luque. Paraguay. All matches were hosted at the Polideportivo of the Parque Olímpico.[4] It was organised in cooperation with the Paraguayan Football Association (APF). Argentina won the South zone title for the second time.[6]
The north zone was scheduled to be held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil from 5 to 9 July 2023,[7] however, in June 2023, CONMEBOL decided to postpone the event due to calendar issues of the participating teams.[8][9] No new dates were announced.
