After the organization 's centennial a new logo was
in the making. This new logo
was unveiled on May 17, 2017. According
to the organization 's President, Alejandro Domínguez, "la nueva
imagen corporativa quiere reconstruir el significado de la CONMEBOL en
la vida de los sudamericanos y así alcanzar el mundo. Que continúe el
juego y se mantenga viva la llama de los fanáticos" (English: The new
corporate image wants to reconstruct the meaning of CONMEBOL in the
lives of South Americans and thus reach the world. Let the game
continue and keep the flame of the fans alive). Furthermore, the
official explanation of the new logo is as follows: "La silueta de la
pelota con la insignia en el interior refleja la audacia y la pasión
representada por todos los equipos implicados en las Competiciones de
la CONMEBOL. La huella digital, que es única, y que agrega la
Identidad y la expresión del Mapa de América del Sur, que unifica y da
poder a todo el continente en el mundo del fútbol. Dentro del logo
aparece la fecha de fundación de la CONMEBOL que es la más antigua
Confederación del fútbol del mundo. Y por último, el nombre en
mayúscula sugiere la formalidad, sobriedad, rectitud, resaltando la
presencia fuerte de la marca.
Es el momento para romper las barreras de los sudamericanos; es hora
de #CreeEnGrande."The silhouette of the ball with the insignia inside
reflects the audacity and passion represented by all the teams
involved in CONMEBOL Competitions. The fingerprint, which is unique,
and which adds the Identity and expression of the Map of South
America, which unifies and empowers the entire continent in the world
of football. Inside the logo appears the founding date of CONMEBOL,
which is the oldest soccer Confederation in the world. And finally,
the name in capital letters suggests formality, sobriety, rectitude,
highlighting the strong presence of the brand. It is time to break the
barriers of the South Americans; It's time to #CreeEnGrande (Believe
big time)".

was the flags for CONMEBOL, the
Association of Paraguay Football and FIFA; it is of note that the flag of CONMEBOL also had the tagline of "Football since 1916" (in Spanish) below the main logo.

The CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions, previously known officially as the
European/South American Nations Cup and commonly as the Artemio
Franchi Cup has its predecessor in the Copa Artemio Franchi (English:
Artemio Franchi Trophy), as the two preceding matches were called.
For its current edition, the competition, dubbed "Finalissima 2022"
(lit. 'Grand Final') for marketing reasons is the
third edition of the
CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions, a football match between the winners
of the previous South American and European championships. The match
will feature Italy, winners of UEFA Euro 2020 (held in
2021), and Argentina, winners of the 2021 Copa América. It was played
at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on 1 June 2022. The match, a
revival of the Artemio Franchi Cup last played 29 years prior, is
being organised by UEFA and CONMEBOL as part of a
renewed partnership between the two confederations.
The
flag is
the logo over a blue horizontal background: "The
Finalissima logo is inspired by the laurel wreath, a symbol of
achievement and victory, of protection and growth. It consists of
ribbons in the colors of the competing nations - Italy's Tricolore and
Argentina's Albiceleste - clustered around the distinctive trophy. The
(golden) ribbons are symbolic of the strong bond between CONMEBOL and UEFA and
their commitment to developing football beyond their geographical borders. The
brand also underlines the importance of a match between the best teams from the
two continents, who have provided every world champion to date. Among the bands
that meander across the deep blue background are several made of platinum and
gold, the world's most precious metals." It was unveiled on March 24, 2022.

The Copa Sudamericana (English: South American Cup) is a continental
tournament played since 2002 among football clubs who qualify for this
competition on certain criteria. This is the second most important
club tournament and it is the continuation of several past
competitions, namely Supercopa Sudamericana (English: South American
Super Cup) (1988-1997), Copa Conmebol (English: Conmebol Cup)
(1992-1999), Copa Mercosur (English: Southern Cone (Market) Cup) and
Copa Merconorte (English: Northern Cone (Market) Cup) (1998-2001).
Hence, the two immediate predecessors, Merconorte and Mercosur, and
their merger, is what is to be considered as the founding of Copa
Sudamericana.
The names "Mercosur" (and in juxtaposition "Merconorte") are derived
(in name only) from the denomination of South American countries who
are part of the southern cone of the subcontinent and established a
common market. So in
contrast, Merconorte refers to those countries who are geographically
located in the northern cone of the subcontinent.
