CONMEBOL or CSF ( Spanish: Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol; Portuguese: Confederação Sul-Americana de Futebol; South American Football Confederation) is the governing body of football (soccer) in most of South America and one of FIFA's six continental confederations. 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 (Brazil), whereas Europe has never been able to win the tournament outside of the European continent.

Two of the top seven teams in the FIFA World Rankings are CONMEBOL members (Brazil and Argentina). CONMEBOL is 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), and has in its ranks the most successful national team in World Cups (Brazil, with a leading five World Cup Championships).

CONMEBOL has produced more world club champions than Europe, and has also won the first three out of five editions of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Even though they are located in South America, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas department 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.

World Cup qualifiers

Although CONMEBOL countries represent only a small fraction of the world, their teams have won half of the 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, although Argentina won Mexico '86. Brazil have won World Cups in all 4 continents where it's been held (Africa's first hosting will be South Africa 2010): Europe (1958), South America (1962), North America (1970, 1994) and Asia (2002).
