We start this new chapter of FC Diez with renewed energy and enthusiasm to continue evolving the federation’s Club Competitions and innovate the fan experience, both on and off the pitch.”

Under the new leadership, FC Diez Media will aim to boost distribution for CONMEBOL’s competitions, with a focus on digital channels to engage younger audiences.
