CONMEBOL is the administrative and controlling body for South American association football. It organizes four club competitions: the Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, Recopa Sudamericana, as well as the Suruga Bank Championship in conjunction with the Japan Football Association. CONMEBOL was also responsible for the running of several other competitions. The most notable of these defunct tournaments is the Supercopa Libertadores, which was discontinued in 1997. The Copa CONMEBOL, which founded in 1992, was discontinued in 1999, and the Intercontinental Cup – co-organized with UEFA – was discontinued in 2004. In addition to the Intercontinental Cup, Super Intercontinental Cups were played in 1968 and 1969. Minor tournaments were organized throughout the 1990s such as the Copa de Oro, Copa Master de Supercopa, Copa Master de CONMEBOL, open only to past winners of CONMEBOL tournaments. The Copa Interamericana was a tournament held between the Copa Libertadores champions and the CONCACAF champion that was last played in 1998. Other small tournaments included the Copa Merconorte, open only to clubs from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela, as well as invited clubs from Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States. The Copa Mercosur was played only by teams from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Both of these tournaments only ran from 1998 to 2001, and were later replaced by the Copa Sudamericana. No club has ever won all the competitions; Boca Juniors, São Paulo and River Plate won seven different CONMEBOL tournaments, while Independiente trails with six. River Plate is the first and only team to simultaneously hold CONMEBOL's four current major international competitions, after winning the 2014 Copa Sudamericana, 2015 Recopa Sudamericana, the 2015 Copa Libertadores, and the 2015 Suruga Bank Championship. Excluded from this list is the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA club competition.
