A Conmebol mantém US$ 14 milhões (R$ 77 milhões) parados no Ueno Bank, que colapsou e provocou crise financeira e política no Paraguai. No país, o presidente Santiago Peña pediu a renúncia.

O banco também patrocina a Sul-Americana. O patrocínio está suspenso e deve ser encerrado, já que a instituição não existe mais; o vínculo ia até o fim do ano.

A confederação afirma que não haverá impacto nas operações, incluindo as duas finais de Libertadores e Sul-Americana, porque o valor retido representa 2,5% da receita anual. O balanço de 2025 apontava US$ 386 milhões (R$ 2,1 bilhões) em caixa e investimentos, suficiente para honrar compromissos e operações sem o dinheiro do Ueno.
