CONMEBOL OVERCOMES ADVERSITIES AND
   ORGANIZES THE COPA AMERICA IN BRAZIL
An exciting definition between two world powers,
Argentina and Brazil. Holding the Copa America was a great
organizational and logistical challenge, considering that
the preparations to hold it in Argentina and Colombia were
already well underway. When it became necessary to move
the venue to Brazil, the CONMEBOL team knew how to rise to
the occasion and carried out a brilliant tournament.

An important part of transparency is communication.
The growth in the digital world has been explosive, with
numbers showing the strategic commitment to a fluid
and open relationship with people. In less than six years,
CONMEBOL went from 2 million followers in all social
media to 42.4 million today, and from communicating
only in Spanish to reporting and interacting also in
Portuguese, English and Arabic. From posting only
photos, CONMEBOL’s digital production has expanded
to videos, films, podcasts, interviews, live contents,
real-time coverage, live football streaming and content
for sponsors. The intention is to innovate in digital
platforms to engage fans in the football experience,
wherever they are.

    As a sort of legacy to Montevideo and Uruguay, CONMEBOL promoted a
    series of renovations in the historic Centenario stadium in preparation
    for the CONMEBOL Sudamericana and CONMEBOL Libertadores finals.

Works included the total renovation of the
pitch grass and the lighting system which was
replaced by a state-of-the-art technology
system. Likewise, works also comprised the
modernization of the locker rooms, changes in
the stands, transit areas, parking, restaurants,
boxes and other facilities. The intervention in the
Centenario Stadium was carried out without
altering the historical features of this true
monument of world football.

DIEGO
We will never forget you!

              On November 25, 2020, the news shook
              the planet. Argentine star Diego Armando
              Maradona left the earthly world, leaving
              football without one of its incomparable
              geniuses.
              World champion with the Albiceleste
              (nickname for the Argentina national football
              team, from its official colors: white and light-
              blue) in 1986 and scorer of the best goal in
              the history of the World Cup, Diego leaves
              an indelible legacy of overflowing talent and
              leadership on the pitch.
