Coca-Cola will additionally have the rights to organize the ‘Tour de las Copas’ and take the trophies of the four competitions on tour throughout the region. 

The soft drinks powerhouse becomes the latest major brand to sign up as a sponsor of the Conmebol club competitions for the 2023-2026 period, joining international credit card giant Mastercard and Dutch beer brand Amstel, which both announced deals last month (January).  

Alejandro Domínguez, president of Conmebol, said: “The alliance with two global brands as strong as Coca-Cola and Powerade cause us great satisfaction. The association with solid and prestigious companies to achieve such noble objectives is always excellent news.”

The men's Libertadores begins on February 8, while the women's version will be held in October. The Sudamericana will start in March.
