CONMEBOL

CONMEBOL or CSF () is the governing body of football in South America, and is responsible for organizing the continent's major international tournaments. It is the oldest of the six continental confederations of FIFA, and with 10 member associations, it has the fewest members of all the confederations. It is the only fully continental, land-based confederation, with no island members or members from other continents. CONMEBOL's headquarters are in Luque, Paraguay.

CONMEBOL national teams have won ten FIFA World Cups (Brazil five, Argentina three, and Uruguay two) and CONMEBOL clubs have won 22 Intercontinental Cups and four FIFA Club World Cups. Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay have won two Olympic gold medals each.

History

In 1916, the first edition of the "Campeonato Sudamericano de Fútbol" (South-American Football Championship), later known as the "Copa América", was held in Argentina to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Argentine Declaration of Independence. The four participating football associations—Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay—met in Buenos Aires to create a governing body for the tournament. CONMEBOL was founded on 9 July 1916. Its creation was ratified on 15 December of the same year, at the first Constitutional Congress in Montevideo. Over the years, six additional South American football associations joined CONMEBOL, the last of which was Venezuela in 1952.

List of CONMEBOL competitions

The most prestigious CONMEBOL competition for men's national teams is the Copa América, which was first held in 1916. It is the only continental tournament which can include teams from other continents and confederations. CONMEBOL usually invites several teams from the AFC or CONCACAF to participate.

CONMEBOL organises the two top competitions for men's club teams in South America: the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana. The Copa Sudamericana was launched in 2002 as a successor to the Supercopa Libertadores. A third competition, the Copa CONMEBOL, was founded in 1992 and was abolished in 1999. CONMEBOL runs the Copa Libertadores Femenina for women's club teams.

The Recopa Sudamericana is an annual match between the past year's winners of the Copa Libertadores and the winners of the Copa Sudamericana. The Intercontinental Cup was jointly organized with UEFA between the Copa Libertadores and the UEFA Champions League winners, and was discontinued in 2004.

Corruption

On 27 May 2015, several CONMEBOL leaders were arrested in Zürich, Switzerland by Swiss police and indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice on charges of corruption, money laundering, and racketeering. Those swept up in the operation include former CONMEBOL presidents Eugenio Figueredo and Nicolás Léoz, as well as the football administrators Carlos Chávez and Sergio Jadue. On 3 December 2015, CONMEBOL President Juan Ángel Napout was also arrested.
