CONMEBOL Libertadores News

Two fans died on Thursday before the start of a Copa Libertadores match between Colo Colo and Fortaleza near Santiago's estadio Monumental.

CONMEBOL announced on Thursday that Ronaldo Nazario will lead a task force to combat racism and violence in South American soccer.

Alejandro Domínguez, the president of South American soccer body CONMEBOL, apologized Tuesday for his remarks the previous day comparing Brazilian clubs to a chimpanzee from Tarzan films.

Palmeiras president Leila Mejdalani Pereira said CONMEBOL's punishment of Cerro Porteno for racial abuse against Palmeiras Under-20 player Luighi was too lenient, criticizing the South American governing body's treatment of Brazilian clubs.

The Brazilian football federation (CBF) said they will file a complaint with South America's governing body CONMEBOL after Palmeiras under-20 player Luighi faced racial abuse while playing against Cerro Porteno U20s in Paraguay on Thursday.
