In the men's football tournament of the 2007 Pan American Games, the Pan American Sports Organisation expanded the number of participants from 8 to 12{{cite web|url=https://espndeportes.espn.com/news/story?id=552522&s=fut&type=story|title=Habrá más participantes|publisher=ESPN Deportes|access-date=2007-04-27|language=Spanish}} and set the age limit to the Under-20 level. However, CONMEBOL, representing the South American nations, only accepted to play with Under-17 teams (who qualified through the 2007 South American Under-17 Football Championship), since Under-20 teams had to participate at the U-20 World Cup at the same time.[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/panam07.html Panamerican Games 2007 (Rio de Janeiro)] by Marcelo Leme de Arruda of the RSSSF

The United States accepted to play with their Under-18 team. Finally, Peru declined to play because their U-17 team preferred to play friendlies in Asia in preparation for the U-17 World Cup, so Bolivia took their place.

In the final, Ecuador beat Jamaica to win their first gold medal.[https://www.eluniverso.com/2007/07/27/0001/15/F6A1EC73A12542DABC6337D1120561EC.html/ Ecuador, campeón panamericano] on El Universo, 27 Jul 2007"Ecuador vence a Jamaica y gana el oro en el fútbol de los Panamericanos" at Keti & Rada's blogsite, Jul 29, 2007
