Moved from planned venue Chile in order to mark 100 years of
Brazilian independence. All the matches were played at Estadio das
Laranjeiras. At the conclusion of the tournament Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay
were tied on 5 points- Brazil only having 1 win to the other countries’ 2. Uruguay then withdrew, leaving Brazil and
Paraguay to play off for the championship. Brazil won 3-0.
Paraguay’s 10 outfield players had walked off the pitch in the 79th
minute of their defeat to Argentina, but this went unpunished by the
authorities.

Only 3 teams competed. Chile withdrew in response to their poor
showing in 1924 when they lost all 3 matches and conceded 10 goals, Uruguay
because of splits in the governing bodies.. Note the unusual presence of a black player in the Argentina side- Alejandro De Los Santos of El Porvenir- the first black man to represent Argentina.
Withdrew: Chile, Uruguay.

Relations between Argentina and Uruguay had effectively been severed
following the 1930 World Cup and the 2 sides didn’t meet for 2 years. The
resumption of the South American Championship also
served as a qualifying competition for the 1936 Olympics (although ultimately
neither Argentina nor Uruguay travelled to Berlin for financial reasons).
It was an additional tournament- no trophy was awarded.
Withdrew: Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay
