Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest trophy in South America (CONMEBOL)?
The Copa America is the top senior men's continental championship for teams in South America (CONMEBOL). This hub also includes World Cup winners from the region.
How are teams ranked?
Past champions are ranked by elapsed time since their latest tracked World Cup or continental championship title. Country counters start at the beginning of the documented local title date, not an invented final-whistle time; a round-robin profile may explicitly use the tournament completion date.
How often is the data updated?
These ranking-card elapsed labels are generation-time snapshots, not live timers. Results are checked before regeneration; follow a country link for its live drought counter.
