The South American Football Confederation, known as CONMEBOL, is the Confederation of National Football Associations in South America. Founded on July 9, 1916, in Buenos Aires, it is the world’s first Confederation, created nearly 40 years before the others were formed.
CONMEBOL was born from the realization of a tournament among countries in the South American continent. The first Copa América held in 1916 in Buenos Aires to commemorate the centenary of Argentine independence marked the inception of this institution, originally composed of the associations of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. Subsequently, the other South American associations joined CONMEBOL: Paraguay (1921), Peru (1925), Bolivia (1926), Ecuador (1927), Colombia (1936), and Venezuela (1953).
CONMEBOL is the only football Confederation in which all member associations are also affiliated with FIFA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
