The home of South American football: trophies, championship jerseys and interactive exhibits, with free entry.
What it is
At CONMEBOL's headquarters on Avenida Sudamericana, this museum gathers more than 1,800 objects from the history of the continent's football: trophies from its tournaments, jerseys of Libertadores and Sudamericana champion clubs, the flags of the ten member associations and statues of Pelé, Maradona and Messi. Since its revamp (2023-2024) it also has interactive screens, a VAR simulator, motion capture and 360° projections. A must for football fans and a good plan for rainy or scorching days.
