The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL, also known as CSF) is the main group that manages football in South America. It's one of the six big football groups under FIFA. CONMEBOL is the oldest continental football group in the world. Its main office is in Luque, Paraguay.

CONMEBOL is in charge of organizing and running all the major international football tournaments in South America. It has 10 member countries, which is the smallest number among all the FIFA groups.

Football teams from CONMEBOL countries have won the FIFA World Cup ten times! Brazil has won five times, Argentina three times, and Uruguay two times. Clubs from CONMEBOL have also won many international club titles. Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay have each won two Olympic gold medals in football.

Many people say that the World Cup qualifiers in CONMEBOL are the "toughest in the world." This is because of the simple round-robin system, the strong national teams, and the different weather and land conditions. The passionate fans also make it very challenging for visiting teams.

Juan Ángel Napout was the president of CONMEBOL until December 3, 2015. After some issues related to FIFA, Wilmar Valdez became the temporary president. Then, on January 26, 2016, Alejandro Domínguez was chosen as the new president.

History

In 1916, the very first "South-American Football Championship" took place in Argentina. This tournament is now known as the "Copa América". It was held to celebrate 100 years of Argentina's independence.

The four countries that played in that first tournament met in Buenos Aires. They wanted to create an official group to help organize the competition. So, CONMEBOL was officially started on July 9, 1916. This idea came from Héctor Rivadavia Gómez from Uruguay. The football groups from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay all agreed. The first official meeting on December 15, 1916, in Montevideo, confirmed this decision.

Over the years, other South American football groups joined CONMEBOL. The last country to join was Venezuela in 1952.

You might notice that Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are in South America but are not part of CONMEBOL. These countries are part of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF). This is mainly because of their history, culture, and how their sports are organized. With only ten member nations, CONMEBOL is the smallest FIFA group. It's also the only one made up entirely of countries on the main continent, with no island nations or members from other continents.

Competitions

CONMEBOL organizes many exciting football tournaments for both national teams and clubs.

National Team Competitions

The biggest competition for men's national teams is the Copa América, which started in 1916. It's special because teams from other continents, like Asia or North America, can be invited to play. For example, Japan and Qatar were invited in 2019.

CONMEBOL also has tournaments for younger national teams:

• Under-20 Football Championship
• Under-17 Football Championship
• Under-15 Football Championship

For women's national teams, there's the Copa América Femenina for senior teams. There are also championships for Under-20 and Under-17 women's teams.

In futsal (a type of indoor football), CONMEBOL organizes the Copa América de Futsal and the South American Under-20 Futsal Championship. There's also a women's futsal tournament called the South American Women's Futsal Championship.

Club Competitions

CONMEBOL runs two main club competitions in South America:

• The Copa Libertadores started in 1960.
• The Copa Sudamericana began in 2002. It took over from an older competition called the Supercopa Libertadores.

There used to be another competition called the Copa CONMEBOL, which ran from 1992 to 1999.

For women's club teams, CONMEBOL has the Copa Libertadores Femenina, which started in 2009.

The Recopa Sudamericana is a yearly match played between the winners of the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana from the previous year.

The Intercontinental Cup used to be a big match between the winners of the Copa Libertadores and the winners of the UEFA Champions League from Europe.
