Paraguay's state prosecution service said in a statement it ordered the search on a request by the US Justice Department, which is investigating a vast bribery scandal at FIFA, football's world governing body.
Police and prosecution officials "are searching for documentation related to the granting of commercial and broadcast rights for sporting events," the statement said.
Witnesses said the current interim head of CONMEBOL, Wilmar Valdez, and the president of the Paraguayan football federation, Alejandro Dominguez, were in the building during the operation.
A lawyer for the confederation, Alfredo Montanaro, called the proceedings "irresponsible."
