About CONMEBOL
Founded in 1916, the South American Football Confederation -
CONMEBOL - is the governing body of South American football and the
oldest continental soccer confederation in the world. CONMEBOL,
made up of ten member associations, including Argentina, Bolivia,
Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and
Venezuela, is responsible for the organisation and governance of
the main international South American football tournaments,
including CONMEBOL Copa America, CONMEBOL Libertadores, CONMEBOL
Sudamericana and CONMEBOL Recopa, among others.
Since 2016, CONMEBOL has undergone a series of structural
reforms to modernise its governance and operations, increase the
global competitiveness of its exclusive tournaments and strengthen
its promotion of football development by increasing revenues and
investment.
As part of that strategy, in the last two years, CONMEBOL club
competitions have been greatly improved through a new format design
and the adoption of standards, designed to increase the quality of
the tournaments from competitive, sporting and commercial points of
view. Thanks to the recently adopted improvements, CONMEBOL
tournaments last year achieved record numbers in digital
participation, stadium attendance and sales.
