AB This paper analyses the ritualization that has evolved around the CopaLibertadores de América finals: the most important football tournamentin South America at club level. It seeks to understand its evolution fromthe beginning of the twenty-first century, paying attention to the confrontation between different national realities and the subcontinentalinstitutions that govern football in the region, particularly theConfederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CONMEBOL). Applying a methodology based on the audiovisual dimension of the event, and analysing multiple categories of ritualization, it can be seen that theinstitutional weakness of CONMEBOL has hindered the transmission ofa clear message via the tournament. This has made it difficult for thetournament to consolidate itself as a unifying force for football in theregion, and has prevented CONMEBOL, at least so far, from being ableto lead a citizenship project around football in South America.
