UEFA/CONMEBOL: a joint office for the two Confederations inaugurated in London (ENG)

"CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez (PAR) and UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin (SVN) today opened a shared CONMEBOL/UEFA office in London, which will represent the sister confederations in common projects, including competitions, across various areas," announced the two bodies on 04/04/2022.

"The creation of a shared office follows on from the strategic cooperation agreement signed by CONMEBOL and UEFA on 12/02/2020, and its extension signed on 15/12/2021," explained UEFA and CONMEBOL. The agreement provided for the organisation of "a variety of football events, while also cooperating in other areas such as refereeing and coaching programmes."

"Building a fruitful and lasting relationship such as ours came easy as we share the same love and passion for football. This shared office is the symbolic next step in the right direction for UEFA and CONMEBOL. It will help us work jointly to develop football across our confederations and beyond," said Aleksander Ceferin.
