  • CONMEBOL announced an alliance with crypto exchange Crypto.com as the Official Sponsor of CONMEBOL Libertadores.
  • CONMEBOL and crypto.com are fully involved in the development of NFT’s associated with the Intellectual Property of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Competition.

The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) and the cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com, agreed to a multi-year partnership through which the crypto exchange focused on the collection and exchange of NFT, will be the official sponsor of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Cup between 2023 and 2026.

Likewise, both the brand and the digital assets may benefit from exposure in stadiums, events and broadcasts authorized by CONMEBOL Libertadores.

Thanks to this agreement, CONMEBOL and crypto.com will also begin to develop “NFTs associated with the Intellectual Property of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Competition on the crypto.com NFT platform,” according to the website of the sports organization.

"CONMEBOL always works to be a leading and avant-garde institution," said the Secretary General of CONMEBOL, José Astigarraga.

"We are sure that Crypto.com supports the same philosophy, taking into account its rapid expansion," he added.

CONMEBOL Libertadores is the high point of South American club soccer, this exciting and beautiful game of highs and lows that unites us like no other." And he added:

"Our research shows that Latin America is leading the way in cryptocurrency adoption, with 40% of Latin Americans saying they are interested in buying crypto in the near future."
