The CONCACAF–CONMEBOL play-off for the 2016 Summer Olympics was a men's under-23 international football play-off between a team from CONCACAF (North, Central America and Caribbean) and a team from CONMEBOL (South America), with the winner qualifying for the final berth in the 2016 Summer Olympics men's football tournament.
Colombia qualified to the Olympics with a 3–2 aggregate win over the United States, after a 1–1 draw in the first leg and a 1–2 win in the second leg.
Originally qualification was to be decided using a single-leg tie in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. However, in October 2015, the United States Soccer Federation announced that the play-off would be a home and away series. The first leg was hosted by Colombia, while the second leg was hosted by the United States.
