Copa Sur’s workouts are out, and the South American CrossFit semifinal is set for May 1-3 in São José, Santa Catarina, Brazil. (games.crossfit.com) (boxrox.com) The event will feature 30 men and 30 women, with the top two finishers in each individual division earning spots at the 2026 CrossFit Games. Competition Corner’s event page also lists a team field, with the top team qualifying. (crossfit.com) (competitioncorner.net) CrossFit’s 2026 season uses Semifinals as the stage between the Open and the Games, splitting qualification across in-person events and online competitions by division. Copa Sur is one of the in-person stops on that calendar, alongside events in Tennessee, California, South Korea, France, South Africa, Spain, and Australia. (games.crossfit.com 1) (games.crossfit.com 2) For South American athletes, that makes Copa Sur the regional meet that decides who stays on the Games path in late spring. The 2026 Semifinals schedule shows Copa Sur opening the same weekend as Magic City Games in Alabama and overlapping with Far East Throwdown in Busan. (games.crossfit.com) BoxRox reported that Copa Sur will run six workouts across three days. The Barbell Spin said the program opens with a longer event called “Move Max” and closes with an elimination-style finale that repeats last year’s last event format. (boxrox.com) (thebarbellspin.com) CrossFit announced the broader 2026 Semifinals structure in October 2025, when it published dates, locations, and Games-qualifying allocations for each event. Morning Chalk Up reported at the time that the in-person semifinals would help determine 30 men and 30 women who advance to the Games. (games.crossfit.com) (morningchalkup.barbend.com) Ticketing pages in Brazil describe Copa Sur as one of 13 CrossFit Semifinals events worldwide in 2026 and market it as the chance for South America’s top athletes to compete in front of a home crowd. The listed venue city, São José, sits in the southern state of Santa Catarina.

One day later, the workouts go live on the competition floor, and four individual Games berths will be on the line by Sunday. (competitioncorner.net) (boxrox.com)
