Svensson added that the league and organization are already fully committed to making sure that women are well-represented in the sport. At least 42% of the CONMBEBOL’s officials and 55% of its managers are female. Another 18% of the organization’s directors are also female. The executive added that 40% of its own workforce identifies as female.

Opportunity to Help Female Sport Grow Regionally

The recent partnership is a follow-up from 2021 one during which Betsson was selected as the official regional sponsor for the Men’s Copa América. The news was naturally welcomed by CONMEBOL commercial and marketing director Juan Emilio Roa who added the organization was thrilled to see Betsson endorse the Women’s competitions.

This partnership comes from a shared vision between CONMEBOL and this prestigious company of boosting women’s football across South America with strong participation of girls, young adults and women.
