News Summary:

On April 30, 2026, Conmebol issued a circular to federations with clubs participating in its tournaments, establishing a new protocol for pitch sizes. This action followed Cerro Porteño's adjustment of its pitch width for a match against Palmeiras the previous day. Under the new rules, each team must officially confirm its pitch dimensions to Conmebol before the fourth round of the Libertadores and Sudamericana tournaments, maintaining those measurements until the final stages. Previously, on April 17, Conmebol released the audio exchange between VAR Juan Lara and referee Piero Maza regarding the penalty that secured Palmeiras' 2-1 victory against Sporting Cristal in the Conmebol Libertadores. On the same day, the organization confirmed David Ojeda as the principal referee for the Conmebol Sub 17 final against Colombia, where the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system would be utilized. Earlier, on April 9, Conmebol executive Nery Alberto Pumpido shared details of the Conmebol Evolución Seminar, which took place virtually on April 13 and 14.
