The 1921 South American Championship was the fifth continental championship for nations in South America. It was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 2 to 30 October 1921.
The participating countries were Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay (which debuted in this edition)[1] and Uruguay. Chile was also invited but withdrew before the draw due to internal dissent,[2] and an invitation was sent to Argentine dissident Asociación Amateurs de Football that originated a conflict with the Argentine Football Association (the official local governing body and organiser of the competition).[3]
Argentina won the tournament, being also its first official title,[4] after several friendly competitions won such as Copa Lipton or Copa Newton.
