It was founded by Uruguayan [[Héctor Rivadavia Gómez]]. CONMEBOL teams have won nine of the eighteen [[FIFA World Cup]] tournaments, while only having hosted the tournament four times. CONMEBOL is also the only confederation in [[FIFA]] to have won the World Cup outside its own continent and on every single continent that the tournament has been hosted, whereas [[UEFA|Europe]] has never been able to win the tournament outside of the European continent. Two of the top five teams in the [[FIFA World Rankings]] are CONMEBOL members ([[Brazil]] and [[Argentina]]). CONMEBOL is also the only confederation in the world to have three teams that have won the [[FIFA World Cup]] at least two times each ([[Brazil]], [[Argentina]], and [[Uruguay]]). CONMEBOL has produced more world club champions than Europe, and has also won the first three out of four editions of the official [[FIFA World Club Championship]]. Even though they are located in South America, [[Guyana]], [[Suriname]] and the [[France|French]] [[département d'outre-mer]] of [[French Guiana]] are ''not'' members of Conmebol - for historical, cultural and mainly sporting reasons 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. ==Member countries== * {{ARG}} - [[Argentina national football team|national team]] - [[Primera División Argentina|first division]] - [[Argentine Football Association|association]] (created in 1893, co-founded CONMEBOL in 1916) * {{BOL}} - [[Bolivia national football team|national team]] - [[Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano|first division]] - [[Federación Boliviana de Fútbol|association]] (created in 1925, joined CONMEBOL in 1926) * {{BRA}} - [[Brazil national football team|national team]] - [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|first division]] - [[Brazilian Football Confederation|association]] (created in 1914, co-founded CONMEBOL in 1916) * {{CHI}} - [[Chile national football team|national team]] - [[Liga Chilena de Fútbol: Primera División|first division]] - [[Federación de Fútbol de Chile|association]] (created in 1895, co-founded CONMEBOL in 1916) * {{COL}} - [[Colombia national football team|national team]] - [[Fútbol Profesional Colombiano|first division]] - [[Federación Colombiana de Fútbol|association]] (created in 1924, joined CONMEBOL in 1936) * {{ECU}} - [[Ecuador national football team|national team]] - [[Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol|first division]] - [[Federación Ecuatoriana de Fútbol|association]] (created in 1925, joined CONMEBOL in 1927) * {{PAR}} - [[Paraguay national football team|national team]] - [[Liga Paraguaya: Primera División|first division]] - [[Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol|association]] (created in 1906, joined CONMEBOL in 1921) * {{PER}} - [[Peru national football team|national team]] - [[Primera División Peruana|first division]] - [[Federación Peruana de Fútbol|association]] (created in 1922, joined CONMEBOL in 1925) * {{URU}} - [[Uruguay national football team|national team]] - [[Primera División Uruguaya|first division]] - [[Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol|association]] (created in 1899, co-founded CONMEBOL in 1916) * {{VEN}} - [[Venezuela national football team|national team]] - [[ Primera División Venezolana|first division]] - [[Federación Venezolana de Fútbol|association]] (created in 1926, joined CONMEBOL in 1952) ==Tournaments organized by CONMEBOL== ===Between nations=== *[[Copa América]] (since 1916) *[[Sudamericano Femenino]] (women's championship, since 1991) *[[South American Futsal Championship|Copa América de Futsal]] *[[South American Youth Championship|South American Under 20 Football Championship]] *[[South American Under 17 Football Championship]] *[[South American Under 20 Women's Championship]] *[[South American Under 17 Women's Championship]] *[[South American Under 20 Futsal Championship]] *[[South American Women's Futsal Championship]] *[[CONMEBOL Men Pre-Olympic Tournament]] (defunct) ==World Cup qualifiers== Although CONMEBOL countries represent only a small fraction of the world, their teams have won half of the [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] tournaments. They have won tournaments in all 4 continents that the FIFA World Cup has so far been held in, this is mostly due to [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], although [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] won [[1986 FIFA World Cup|Mexico '86]]. Brazil have won World Cups in all 4 continents: Europe ([[1958 FIFA World Cup|1958]]), South America ([[1962 FIFA World Cup|1962]]), North America ([[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970]], [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994]]) and Asia ([[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002]]). ===Performance at World Cup finals=== This is the list of the teams that participated of each World Cup.
