The 2025 CONMEBOL Boys' U-15 Evolution League (Spanish: CONMEBOL Liga Evolución Sub-15) is the 11th edition of the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONMEBOL for the men's under-15 national teams of South America, and the first under the new name CONMEBOL Boys' U-15 Evolution League. It was held in Luque, Paraguay from 24 September to 6 October 2025.[1]
Starting with this edition, the tournament was renamed the CONMEBOL Boys' U-15 Evolution League and, together with the newly created CONMEBOL Girls' U-15 Evolution League, became part of the tournaments of the Evolution Program of the CONMEBOL Development Department. The tournament is a continuation of the former South American U-15 Championship.[2]
Paraguay are the defending champions.[2]

Competition format

|
The teams were divided into two geographically based zones (North and South) to compete in a round robin against other members of their own zone during the group stage. In the final stage, the winners of each zone face each other in the final to contest the title, while the runners-up, third, fourth, and fifth place teams from each zone face each other to determine third through tenth place.[1]
Each match had a regular playing time of 80 minutes divided into two 40-minute halves with a 15-minute break. At the end of each match, CONMEBOL implemented a third period in which members of both teams shared an educational and integration space before returning to the dressing rooms.[3]
Group stage
In the group stage, teams were ranked according to points earned (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers would be applied in the following order:
- Head-to-head result between tied teams;
- Points in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
- Goal difference in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
- Goals scored in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Goals scored in all group matches;
- Fewest red cards received;
- Fewest yellow cards received;
- Drawing of lots.
All match times are local times, PYT (UTC−3), as listed by CONMEBOL.[4]
