About CONMEBOL
Founded in 1916, the South American Football Confederation – CONMEBOL – is the governing body of South American football and the oldest continental football confederation in the world. CONMEBOL, made up of ten member associations (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela), is responsible for the organization and administration of the main international South American football tournaments, including the CONMEBOL Copa América, the CONMEBOL Libertadores, the CONMEBOL Sudamericana and the CONMEBOL Recopa, among others.
Since 2016, CONMEBOL has undergone a series of structural reforms to modernize its administration and operations, increase the global competitiveness of its exclusive tournaments and strengthen its promotion of football development through greater revenue and investment.
As part of this strategy, over the last two years CONMEBOL’s club competitions have been enhanced through a new format design and the adoption of standards aimed at raising the quality of the tournaments from a competitive, sporting and commercial standpoint. Thanks to the recently adopted improvements, CONMEBOL’s tournaments last year reached record numbers in digital engagement, stadium attendance and sales.
