South American Football Confederation

The South American Football Confederation (Confederação Sul-Americana de Futebol, in Portuguese), better known as Conmebol (from the acronym used in the cable releases: ConSudaMexicanFootball Federation or CSF —also in Portuguese: Confederação Sul-Americana de Futebol—), is the confederation of national football associations (federations) of South America. With ten members, it is the FIFA confederation with the fewest members. Founded on July 9, 1916 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, it was the first confederation created, almost 40 years before the following, and is associated with FIFA.

Its headquarters are located in the city of Luque, a few kilometers from Asunción, the capital of Paraguay. This and UEFA are the only confederations to have won the Soccer World Cup in its 22 editions (10 area titles to 12 European titles), and they are the only confederations to have won the FIFA Club World Cup in their 19 editions (4 area titles for 15 European titles). In turn, it is the only football confederation in which all the teams that make it up are affiliated with FIFA and the IOC.

Conmebol was born from a tournament between the countries of the South American continent. It was the beginning of this body, made up of the associations of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. Subsequently, the remaining South American associations joined Conmebol: Paraguay (1921), Peru (1925), Bolivia (1926), Ecuador (1927), Colombia (1936) and Venezuela (1953). The associations of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana preferred to join the Confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean (Concacaf).

History

The Convention Center and Museum of the South American Football.

Conmebol Building in Luque, Paraguay.

In 1916, on the occasion of the Centennial of the Independence of the Argentine Republic, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs donated a trophy and sent invitations to the Federations of Brazil, Chile and Uruguay to play a "Football&#34 Championship; as part of the festivities. All the invited delegations attended and participated in the contest, which is considered the first official South American in history —although the Copa América trophy, instituted the following year, was not yet at stake.

The South American was a great success. During the dispute, the Uruguayan manager of the Montevideo Wanderers club, Héctor Rivadavia Gómez, found the context to materialize a personal project: that of creating the South American Football Confederation. It was then that on July 9, 1916, the exact date of the 100th anniversary of Argentine Independence, leaders of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay met in Buenos Aires to study the integrating idea of Rivadavia Gómez, which was approved ad-referendum of the respective national associations. In Montevideo on December 15 of that year, the constitutional congress was held, in which everything that had been done was ratified. The founding associations were joined by those of Paraguay (1921), Peru (1925), Bolivia (1926), Ecuador (1927), Colombia (1936) and Venezuela (1952).

The organization is one of the strongest and most recognized of the six world confederations, due to the importance of its members, among which are several of the main associations, leagues and soccer teams in the world. At the organizational level, it promotes club competitions, such as Conmebol Libertadores and Conmebol Sudamericana, or in national teams, with the Copa América. In addition, it also organizes the qualifiers for the soccer world cups.

Although for its beginnings, Conmebol emerged to organize tournaments between the nations that comprise it (the Copa América being its main banner), the clubs also began to claim their space. For example, the clashes for the Aldao Cup between the champion clubs of Argentina and Uruguay, was a way of seeing clashes between teams from different countries and bringing together the best of River Plate football.

These tournaments ignited the idea of organizing a continental competition in the 1930s. In 1948, a tournament was played that was the most concrete precedent: the South American Championship of Champions, organized by Colo-Colo de Chile. Its headquarters was the city of Santiago and the champions of each country from the previous season disputed it, winning it Vasco da Gama of Brazil.

In 1959, the foundations of the competition were laid, which was founded in 1960 and bears his name in homage to the heroes of South American history: Simón Bolívar, José de San Martín, Pedro I, José Bonifácio, Bernardo O&# 39;Higgins, José Artigas, among others.

Finally, starting in 1960, Conmebol established annual competitions for clubs.

With the growth of the Confederation, a modification in the statutes was determined in the 1990 congress, through which the city of Asunción, capital of Paraguay, was established as the permanent headquarters of the institution. On January 23, 1998, the building that houses the new headquarters was inaugurated, in the district of Luque, part of Greater Asunción.

Countries affiliated with Conmebol

Map of confederations associated with FIFA

Ten national soccer associations belong to Conmebol, representing all the independent states of South America, except the national federations or associations of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, which are affiliated to Concacaf (of these three, only the The first two are affiliated with FIFA and are independent states, while the last one is not affiliated with FIFA and is not an independent state (being a colony of France).

Initially, four members founded Conmebol: Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay.

Although the Falkland Islands could form their own national team like other British Overseas Territories (British Virgin Islands, Gibraltar, Anguilla), they could not be members of Conmebol, because the countries of the region support Argentina before the United Kingdom for the sovereignty of the archipelago.

South American Associations that are not members

Selection	Federation	Confederation	Reason
French Guiana	French Guiana Football League (French Federation of Football)	Concacaf	La Guayana Francesa is an overseas department in France, located northwest of South America. Due to its geographical location, it should be affiliated to the Conmebol, however, due to the abysmal sport difference in the face of the other South American selections, it led to the Concacaf. Under the FFF guardianship. He has been a member of the Concacaf since 1978.
GUYGuyana	Guyana Football Federation	Concacaf	Despite being geographically in South America, Guyana chose to integrate Concacaf. That is due to the uncompetitive level of your selection that could not sustain the conmebol competition rate.
SURSuriname	Football Federation of Suriname	Concacaf	The reason that the South American country is affiliated with the Concacacaf is the level differences between this selection and its South American peers.

Authorities

Presidents

On the left, Héctor Rivadavia Gómez, first president of the Conmebol. To the right, Alejandro Domínguez, current president of the Conmebol.

The president is the highest authority in charge of the South American Football Confederation. The Uruguayan Héctor Rivadavia Gómez was the first president of the organization. Throughout its history, the leaders have been Argentines, Brazilians, Chileans, Paraguayans, Peruvians and Uruguayans, so that executives from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela have not yet presided over Conmebol.

The president who lasted the longest in office was the Paraguayan Nicolás Leoz. He was in office for six consecutive terms, between May 1, 1986 and April 30, 2013. His removal from office occurred in a controversial manner, after resigning from the agency after proving his involvement in a large corruption case that includes bribes, fraud and money laundering. Since that event, the new direction of Conmebol was taken by Eugenio Figueredo (2013-2014) and Napout (2014-2015), but they were also involved in acts of corruption. After the FIFA scandal occurred in 2015, Juan Ángel Napout was arrested on December 3, 2015 for accepting bribes, ending up resigning his position.

Thus, Wilmar Valdez, president of the Uruguayan Football Association, assumed the position on an interim basis and announced that the elections would be held on January 26, 2016 to elect a new president. Valdez and Domínguez announced their respective candidacies for the presidency but, after Valdez's resignation, Domínguez became the new president of the entity as he was the only candidate, assuming said position on January 26, 2016.

Congress

It is the highest authority of Conmebol and ordinarily meets every 2 years to consider the report and the general balance of the past year, the budget of expenses and resources for the following year, matters included by the Executive Committee in the order of the day, the report of the Finance Committee and that of the representatives of the Confederation before FIFA.

Each Ordinary Congress fixes the place and date of the next Congress. It meets extraordinarily when resolved by the Ordinary Congress, requested by at least six affiliated institutions, decided by the Executive Committee or at the request of the Finance Commission.

Each association has the right to one vote in Congress, but may be represented by up to three delegates. It is chaired by the president of the Confederation. The members of the Executive Committee do not have a vote in the Congress, but they are members of it, like the representatives before FIFA, being able to integrate the Commissions and participate in the deliberations.

Among the most important powers of Congress are the ability to:

• Affiliate, disaffiliate and re-enter members.
• Grant the title of President or Honorary Member of the Confederation.
• Confer the Medal to Merit as a sample of recognition.
• Dictate, modify and interpret the Statute.
• To elect members of the Executive Committee, representatives at FIFA and the Chair of the Finance Commission.
• To resolve issues that arise between the affiliated institutions, if I do not agree on the appointment of an arbitrator.
• Resolve appeals against Executive Committee resolutions.

The South American Football Confederation is made up of 10 national associations. All of them are represented in the different bodies of the entity, whose highest instance is the Congress, which is held every two years in an ordinary way. The ten affiliates are on a level of equality and balance among themselves, and make up the Executive Committee of the Confederation.

Tip

On May 11, 2018, in an Extraordinary Congress, after the conclusion of the 68th Ordinary Congress, the validity of a new statute was determined. The set of laws, after a long analysis by the representative authorities, conforms to the regulations in force throughout the world, specifically in relation to FIFA.

The Council is the permanent authority of Conmebol during the recess of Congress. Through the new statute, it is made up of a President, three Vice Presidents and seven Directors.

Among the most important functions of the Executive Committee are:

• Manage the Confederation.
• Take disciplinary measures and apply sanctions to leaders, arbitrators, technicians, players, associations, clubs and anyone who violates the Regulations or rules of the tournaments.
• Call for Extraordinary Congresses.
• To comply with and enforce the Regulations and Rules as well as the resolutions of the Congress.
• Designate the members of the Finance Commission, the Chairman and members of the Arbitration Commission, the Technical Commission and the Medical Commission.
• Fix the date of realization of the American Cup, according to the current regulations.
• Organize official tournaments and dictate their regulations.

Club Tournaments

According to the official website of the South American Football Confederation, there are 17 men's competitions recognized by the entity, of which 5 are currently in play (1 organized by FIFA but with South American participation) and 12 discontinued. Likewise, the club cups played prior to 1960 are not endorsed by Conmebol, notwithstanding that they may be endorsed by other entities, federations and/or sports associations. Therefore, they do not enter the calculation of international titles of Conmebol.

In 2020, Alejandro Domínguez, president of Conmebol, announced that the Supercopa Sudamericana will be played again, with a format of 25 Conmebol Libertadores Cup champion teams throughout history, from 1960 to present. The above with the aim of granting the champion and runner-up two places for the Future FIFA Club World Cup with 32 clubs.

However, Conmebol ruled out for the moment the possible return of the tournament pending FIFA's determinations for qualifying for the future FIFA Club World Cup.
