History
editIn 1916, thefirst editionof the "Campeonato Sudamericano de Fútbol" (South-American Football Championship), later known as the "Copa América",was contested in Argentina to commemorate the centenary of theArgentine Declaration of Independence.The four participating associations of that tournament gathered inBuenos Airesin order to officially create a governing body to facilitate the organization of the tournament. Thus, CONMEBOL was founded on 9 July 1916 under the initiative of UruguayanHéctor Rivadavia Gómez,but approved by the football associations ofArgentina,Brazil,ChileandUruguay.The first Constitutional Congress on 15 December of that same year, which took place inMontevideo,ratified the decision.
Over the years, the other football associations in South America joined, with the last beingVenezuelain 1952.Guyana,Surinameand the Frenchoverseas departmentofFrench Guiana,while geographically in South America, are not part of CONMEBOL. Consisting of a former British territory, a former Dutch territory and a French territory, they are part of theConfederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF),mainly due to historical, cultural, and sporting reasons as members of the "Caribbean" rimlands. With ten member nations, CONMEBOL is the smallest and the only fully continental land-based FIFA confederation (no insular countries or associates from different continents).

Japan and Qatar were invited to participate in the 2019 edition of the Copa America.[12]CONMEBOL also runs national competitions atUnder-20,Under-17andUnder-15levels.
