CONMEBOL or '''CSF''' ('''CON'''federación suda'''ME'''ricana de Fút'''BOL''', ''South American Football Confederation'') is the governing body of Football in South America . It was founded July 9 , 1916 , thanks to Uruguayan Héctor Rivadavia Gómez who materialized his project of uniting football around the continent. Argentina , Uruguay , Brazil and Chile were the founder nations after a successful South America n football Tournament played in Buenos Aires . Later on Paraguay ( 1921 ), Peru ( 1925 ), Bolivia ( 1926 ), Ecuador ( 1927 ), Colombia ( 1936 ) and Venezuela ( 1952 ) also became members of the South American confederation. Nowadays CONMEBOL is part of FIFA and is in charge of all professional football activities in the mentioned countries. The permanent headquarters are located in Luque , Paraguay (near Asunción ); and the actual president (until 2006 ) of the Executive Committee is Dr. Nicolás Leoz. Even though they are located in South America, Guyana , Suriname and the French Département D'outre-mer of French Guiana are ''not'' members of CONMEBOL - their national associations are members of CONCACAF . Among the tournaments conducted by CONMEBOL are the Copa Libertadores De América (analogous to the UEFA Champions League ) and the Copa Sudamericana (analogous to the UEFA Cup ), both for club teams, and Copa América for men's national teams.
