Atos and CONMEBOL Launch Major Digital Overhaul of South American Football

CONMEBOL has taken a decisive step in its long-term digital transformation strategy by appointing global technology company Atos as its first Official Innovation Partner for club competitions. The agreement spans the full range of CONMEBOL’s premier tournaments, including the Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, Recopa, as well as women’s and youth tournaments and the confederation’s fast-growing esports division. Through the partnership, Atos will develop a suite of new digital products and experiences designed to modernise the way South American football is presented, consumed and commercialised.

At the core of the collaboration is a complete rebuild of CONMEBOL’s digital ecosystem. Atos will deliver newly designed websites, a streamlined mobile app and integrated platforms that draw together match data, live updates, editorial content and fan-facing features. For an organisation managing some of the most passionately supported clubs on the planet, the move is expected to provide both a more intuitive user journey and a more scalable foundation for global audience growth.

Atos brings three decades of experience in major event technology, including work with European and global sports bodies. CONMEBOL’s decision to engage such a mature tech partner reflects its ambition to position South American club football within a more competitive global digital landscape. The new infrastructure is expected to enhance live storytelling, support improved broadcast synergy and open new commercial opportunities, particularly in sponsorship, content and targeted advertising.

The partnership arrives at a moment when football federations worldwide are under renewed pressure to elevate digital experiences beyond basic information delivery. Fans increasingly expect seamless platforms, personalised content and real-time interactivity. South America’s club competitions have long commanded strong regional loyalty, but fragmented digital systems have limited their potential to scale internationally. Atos’s involvement indicates a shift toward a more unified, data-driven approach.

For CONMEBOL, the initiative represents a strategic play to reinforce the global relevance of South American football by creating digital products that match the quality and intensity of the on-field product. The new platforms will be rolled out over the coming season, marking the beginning of a new chapter in how the confederation engages with millions of supporters across continents.
