Atletismo Sudamericano (South American Athletics), formerly CONSUDATLE (Spanish: Confederación Sudamericana de Atletismo; South American Athletics Confederation), is the continental confederation governing body of athletics for national governing bodies and multi-national federations within South America, including the transcontinental country Panama.

[2] Therefore, the CONSUDATLE claims to be the oldest athletics area association of the world.

The founding members were Argentina, Uruguay, and Andean Chile.

Successively, the other countries joined: Brazil in 1922, Ecuador and Peru in 1925, Bolivia in 1930, and Colombia in 1937.

Paraguay and Venezuela followed later, and Guyana, Panama, and Suriname joined within the last decades.
