The countdown is on for the CONMEBOL Libertadores Futsal 2026, and the action is heading to Brazil! From May 24 to 31, 2026, the city of Carlos Barbosa in Rio Grande do Sul will host this prestigious tournament, bringing together South America's top futsal clubs in a battle for continental glory.

For media professionals eager to cover every fast-paced moment, the accreditation process is officially open on the CONMEBOL Media Hub. Whether you're a journalist, camera operator, or photographer, now is your chance to secure a spot on the sidelines. Applications will be accepted from May 7 at 10:00 a.m. (Paraguay time) until May 14 at 6:00 p.m. (Paraguay time)—so mark your calendars! Late submissions won't be considered, so don't sleep on this opportunity.

To get started, you'll need an approved profile on the CONMEBOL Media Hub, the official platform for all accreditation requests. Simply log in, navigate to the "Accreditation" section, select "CONMEBOL LIBERTADORES FUTSAL 2026," and fill in your details. It's that straightforward. If you need access to the Tribune and Mixed Zone areas, don't forget to submit a Supplementary Access Devices (SAD) request after completing your main application.

Here's the key thing to remember: submitting your application doesn't guarantee a slot. Approval is subject to availability, and CONMEBOL will allocate seats based on media outlet type, professional role, and space constraints. You'll receive a decision via the email linked to your Media Hub profile no later than May 17, 2026. For SAD requests, be sure to check your status by logging into the platform with your email and password.

This is a prime chance to witness futsal at its finest in a city known for its passion for the sport. Whether you're covering the action for a major network or a local radio station, make sure your gear—from cameras to notebooks—is ready for the intensity of Libertadores Futsal.
