Corruption in sports is an issue that is hitting society today because it is observed by the vast majority of inhabitants. In football, corruption is what prevails in this type of sport, related to the management of money within this sport has shot to the clouds at an immeasurable speed. This bought modern footballers who earn more than twice the players of two decades ago, this is not a matter of discussion right now nobody is able to decide how much a person worth. What you can judge is the quality of their performance on the court and as many say they are worth more but play less. This is due to several controversies of rigged matches, fixed venues, purchased championships. The only thing that worth now in football is marketing, good image and of course, salary. South America, the underdeveloped continent, unfortunately is the most involved in these cases of corruption, maybe to get out of their situation, this does not start from the bases but from the fruits, that is, the most small play for the love of football, colors and competition but the more "mature" people who gave the role model have forgotten that they were once iii children and they just get to damage the illusions of some young people dabbling in the sport to feed their pockets. iv INDEX GRATITUDE ................................................................................................................................................. ii SUMMARY ..................................................................................................................................................iii . ...................................................................................................................................................................iii INDEX ....................................................................................................................................................... v INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................................................................... vi CHAPTER I ................................................................................................................................................... 1 FIFA in Latin America .................................................................................................................................. 1 1.1 Examine compliance with the regulations established by FIFA in Latin America .................... 1 1.1.2 Articles in the regulation that are broken. ............................................................................. 3 1.2 The analysis of the case "children with mustache" ...................................................................... 5 1.2.1 Consequences of the illegal act. ............................................................................................... 6 CHAPTER II .................................................................................................................................................. 8 Influence of corruption in Latin American teams ........................................................................................ 8 2.1 Types of crime that have become evident within the football federations .................................. 8 2.1.2 Poor allocation of assets by federations. ............................................................................... 10 2.1.3 Matched Matches. .................................................................................................................. 12 2.2 Controversy of the final of the Copa Libertadores 1990 ............................................................ 14 CHAPTER III ............................................................................................................................................... 17 Influence on future athletes ..................................................................................................................... 17 3.1 Assessment within the UEJ of the perception of corruption in football .................................... 17 CONCLUSIONS ........................................................................................................................................... 22 RECOMMENDATIONS ............................................................................................................................... 24 BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES .................................................................................................................... 25 v INTRODUCTION This monograph is a full informative work with the sole purpose of evaluating the perception of both, young athletes who aspire to become in professionals, and the common people who simply see football as a sport of entertainment, but not to delve into the judicial sphere, being most partially possible and expressing purely objective, non-subjective opinions. The Organization that represents FIFA (Fédération Internationale Football Association) in South America is CONMEBOL (South American Football Confederation). With ten members, it is the confederation of FIFA with the fewest members. Founded on July 9th 1916 in Buenos Aires Argentina. Being the first confederation of nations more longevity, with a difference of 40 years with the next to conform. Its headquarter is located in the city of Luque, Paraguay. After the FIFA organization, the South American Football Confederation is the one that has the highest number of complaints filed among them: crimes of injury of trust, appropriation, money laundering, production of non-authentic documents and criminal association. Two waves of arrests and numerous accusations in recent months by US and vi Swiss officials investigating rampant corruption at FIFA have placed behind thirteen top soccer officials in the region, more than any other in the world. But one of the most closely linked to this research is the match-fixing because it is believed to be the one that has the greatest influence on the perception of those close to the sport. It has this hypothesis since it goes beyond all political, judicial, economic, ethical, etc. It is also involved in the social and psychological, personal the researcher seeing they from a point of view as a lover of football, but also show me that my club of preference did not achieve on its own merit all the achievements it possesses, it would devastate me completely. Although it is true the other illegal acts can be solved by law but who gives back the confidence to a young man who strives to become professional, but sees that others easier enter the big leagues by paying managers. Or as an amateur you can be a member of a club or go to the stadium knowing the outcome beforehand of the party. For these reasons I present "Corruption in Latin American football”. vii CHAPTER I FIFA in Latin America 1.1 Examine compliance with the regulations established by FIFA in Latin America The criminal investigation conducted by the New York Public Prosecutor's Office on the award of media rights and marketing rights and South American sponsorship of the competitions organized by FIFA is due to charges brought against bribery, fraud and money laundering. One of the latest accusations was the bribery of the opening of the media and the marketing rights of the FIFA games in America, where the audience was welcomed and the price quotation for the inauguration of the Copa América Centenario, competition where only select soccer players of Latin American countres particioated including special guests, in 150 million dollars an exorbitant amount of money, the most valued of that level of selections. Where also the prize to the winners was the highest never seen before a level of selections but nevertheless it is estimated that less than 110 million dollars went directly to the 1 CONMEBOL authorities, and only the remaining 40 million were for the winners, referees, safety in stadiums, etc. It is also known that some monetary benefit has been received to secure future versions of international tournaments such as Copa America, Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana their television rights. This is evident in the Copa América Chile 2015 where the company tournaments, traffic and the complete game, received 50% of the rights reserved for it and the other 50% distributed among to another 3 companies. After the tournament, due to strong complaints of inequality and investigations, Datisa, Communication Company, admitted his bribe and proceeded to distribute his profits that did not belong with his competitors to avoid a sentence. Eugenio Figueredo, former president of CONMEBOL, acknowledged that, as well as other executives of the organization, he received money from telecommunications companies to promote commerce, he also accepted that the
