qualification

As in the previous championships, the South American football championship , for which the ten CONMEBOL members had registered a team, again served as qualification. This took place in April 2018 in Chile . First they played in two groups of five teams each in the free-for-all mode and then the two best teams in each group played again in the free-for-all mode. The best two teams in this round were directly qualified for the World Cup. The third-placed team would face fourth in the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup in the Pan-American playoff .

The Chilean team scored 1-1 in their first game against Paraguay. After a goalless draw against Colombia, Uruguay were defeated 1-0 and Peru 5-0. As runner-up in the group behind Colombia, Chile moved into the final round. In the final round they started with a 1: 3 against defending champions Brazil. But this was the only defeat. Against Colombia there was only one draw, this time goalless, but in the last game Argentina were defeated 4-0. This made it enough for second place and direct qualification for the World Cup finals.

A total of 18 players were used, seven of which played all seven games. The most goals for the Chilean team were scored by Yanara Aedo (3). A total of six Chilean players contributed to the twelve goals in qualifying. They also benefited from an own goal by an Argentine player.
