History
editChile 2022
editOn 24 January 2022, CONIFA announced that the first edition of the CONIFA South America Football Cup would take place in Linares, Chile and feature 4 teams (Aymara, Mapuche, Maule Sur and São Paulo FAD).[2] São Paulo FAD however was unable to arrive in time for the dispute due to excessive ice on the roads in southern Chile, and the tournament has been changed to a single round robin format. Maule Sur won the first edition of the tournament.[3][4]
