The1935 South American Championship was the thirteenth edition of thefootball tournament, held from 6–27 January 1935 inLima,Peru, used forArgentina,Chile,Peru, andUruguay to qualify for the1936 Summer Olympics.Brazil,Bolivia andParaguay did not join the tournament.
There was some doubt the tournament would take place as during the1930 FIFA World Cup, whereUruguay defeatedArgentina, 4–2 in the final match, Argentina broke off football relations with their Uruguayan counterparts, claiming to have been heavily pressured, and that aggressions had been directed at them, before and during the tournament.
Six years after theprevious edition, it was decided to continue the tournament. This tournament is classified as Extraordinary Championship (Campeonato extraordinario in Spanish) and did not have a trophy in dispute. The tournament was held on the occasion of the fourth centenary of the founding of the city of Lima.[1]
