Medal record Copa América Gold 1963 Bolivia Team Silver 1997 Bolivia Team

The Bolivia national football team, also known as La Verde (which means "The Green"), represents Bolivia in international men's football games. It has been doing so since 1926. The team is organized by the Bolivian Football Federation (FBF). It is one of the ten teams that belong to CONMEBOL, the South American football group under FIFA.

Bolivia played in the 1930 and 1950 World Cups. They have only qualified one other time, in 1994, where they did not get past the first round. Bolivia has never gone past the first stage of any World Cup. They have only scored one goal in a World Cup, which was in 1994. Even with their World Cup record, Bolivia won the Copa América at home in 1963. They also finished second in 1997, which they also hosted. At the 2015 Copa América in Chile, they reached the quarter-finals. This was their first time doing so since 1997. They achieved this by beating Ecuador 3–2. This win also ended a long streak without a victory in the Copa América. Their last win before that was on June 28, 1997, when they beat Mexico 1–0 in the semi-finals.

History of Bolivian Football

Bolivia's national team at the 1930 FIFA World Cup before their game against Yugoslavia.

Bolivia played its first international football game in 1926. This was one year after the Bolivian Football Federation was created. They joined FIFA in the same year. Bolivia took part in the 1926 South American Championship in Chile. Their first match was against the host team, Chile, on October 12, 1926. Bolivia even scored first in that game, but they lost to Chile 7–1. Bolivia also lost their next three matches: 0–5 against Argentina, 1–6 against Paraguay, and 0–6 against Uruguay.

In 1930, Bolivia was one of the teams invited to the very first World Cup. It was held in Uruguay. Bolivia was in Group 2 of the 1930 World Cup. They lost both their games 4–0. First, they lost to Yugoslavia at the Estadio Parque Central. Then, they lost to Brazil in the Estadio Centenario. The game against Yugoslavia was Bolivia's last match against a non-South American team until 1972. They played Yugoslavia again that year. Bolivia returned for the 1950 World Cup. They got a spot automatically because Argentina pulled out of the qualifiers. Three other teams also decided not to play in Brazil. So, Bolivia was in a group of two with Uruguay. Bolivia's only game was an 8–0 loss to Uruguay at the Estádio Independência in Belo Horizonte.

The Bolivian team that won its first and only Copa América title in 1963.

Bolivia's biggest football success was winning the 1963 South American Championship title. They hosted this tournament and finished first out of seven countries. They were undefeated, with five wins and one draw. Their only draw was a 4–4 tie against Ecuador in the first game. Playing at high altitudes also gave them an advantage. In the next tournament, the 1967 South American Championship in Uruguay, Bolivia finished last. They had one draw and four losses. This was a big disappointment since they were the defending champions.

Later, Bolivian football started to get better. This happened with the creation of the Academia Tahuichi Aguilera in Santa Cruz de la Sierra in 1978. This football school helped develop talented players like Marco Etcheverry, Erwin Sánchez, and Luis Cristaldo.

Under Spanish coach Xabier Azkargorta, and with nine players from Tahuichi, Bolivia did something amazing. They became the first team to beat Brazil in the 1994 World Cup qualifiers. They won 2–0 against Brazil in La Paz. Bolivia then qualified for the 1994 World Cup by finishing second in Group B, right behind Brazil. During their qualification games, they had big wins, like 7–0 and 7–1 against Venezuela.

In the World Cup, Bolivia was in Group C. They played against the defending champions, Germany, in the first game of the tournament at Soldier Field. Bolivia played very well in the first half. In the second half, Lothar Matthäus ran 40 yards and hit Marco "El Diablo" Etcheverry with his elbow. Etcheverry reacted by fouling Matthäus and was sent off. Bolivia eventually lost 1–0 due to a goal by Jürgen Klinsmann that was debated as offside. After a 0–0 draw with South Korea at Foxboro Stadium, where Bolivia played with ten men again after Cristaldo's red card, Bolivia returned to Chicago. They lost 3–1 to Spain. Sánchez scored Bolivia's first-ever goal in a World Cup during this game.

After the World Cup, Bolivia played in the 1995 Copa América in Uruguay. With Antonio Lopez Habas as their manager, they reached the quarter-finals. This was their first time since winning in 1963. They had one win, one draw, and one loss. In the quarter-finals, they lost 2–1 to the host team, Uruguay. Even though they played well, Lopez Habas left his job before the 1997 Copa America. Dušan Drašković took over as coach. The 1997 tournament was the second time Bolivia hosted the event. The team made it to the final, just like when they hosted before. But this time, they finished second to Brazil, who were the world champions. Bolivia lost 3–1 in the final.

Because they were runners-up in the Copa America, Bolivia played in their first and only FIFA Confederations Cup in 1999. Their new manager was Héctor Veira from Argentina. Bolivia was in Group A with hosts Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. They started with a 2–2 draw against Egypt. Their next game was a 0–0 draw against Saudi Arabia. In their last group match, they played Mexico and lost 0–1, with a goal from Francisco Palencia. Bolivia finished third in their group with two draws and one loss. This meant they were out of the tournament in the first stage.

In the 2015 Copa América in Chile, under Bolivian manager Mauricio Soria, Bolivia was in Group A. They played against Chile, Mexico, and Ecuador. They drew 0–0 with Mexico. However, they beat Ecuador 3–2. Goals were scored by Raldes, Smedberg-Dalence, and Moreno. This win against Ecuador helped Bolivia reach the quarter-finals. This was their first time since the 1997 tournament they hosted. Bolivia lost to Peru 1–3 in the quarter-finals. Bolivia's only goal was a penalty scored by Marcelo Moreno in the last minutes. In the next three Copa América tournaments, Bolivia did not perform well, losing all their games.

In 2021, the new President of the Bolivian Football Federation, Fernando Costa Sarmiento, said that football in Bolivia was not doing well. He promised to improve the country's football system. He said that past presidents had managed football poorly. He wanted to make Bolivian football more professional.

On March 28, 2023, Bolivia won an away game against a World Cup team for the first time in the 21st century. They beat Saudi Arabia 2–1 in Jeddah in a friendly match.

Home Stadiums

Bolivia plays its home matches at Estadio Hernando Siles. This stadium is very high up, at 3,637 metres (11,932 ft) (about 11,932 feet) above sea level. This makes it one of the highest football stadiums in the world. Many visiting teams have complained that the high altitude gives Bolivia an unfair advantage. On May 27, 2007, FIFA said that no World Cup Qualifying matches could be played in stadiums above 8,200 feet (2,500 m) above sea level.

However, FIFA changed the rule a month later. They raised the altitude limit to 3,000 meters. They also made a special exception for La Paz, allowing the stadium to keep hosting World Cup qualifying matches. A year after the first ban, in May 2008, FIFA removed the altitude limit completely.

In 2024, the Bolivian Football Federation decided that home games would be played at the Estadio Municipal de El Alto. This stadium is even higher, at 4,150 metres (13,620 ft) (about 13,615 feet) above sea level. The coach said the reason was that the stadium was newly renovated. He also said they would play where the players live.

Team Look and Kits

Kit History

Bolivia's first uniforms were all white. At the 1930 FIFA World Cup, before their game with Yugoslavia, Bolivia painted one letter of "Viva Uruguay" on each of the eleven starting players' jerseys. They did this to make the local fans happy. In the next game with Brazil, since Brazil also wore white, Bolivia borrowed Uruguay's blue uniform to play. Bolivia again painted a message to the hosts in the 1945 South American Championship. The players' jerseys read "Viva Chile."

In 1946, Bolivia changed their jersey colors to black and white stripes. These were the colors of the Cochabamba region. The FBF went back to white the next year. In 1957, the FBF decided to use one of the colors from the Flag of Bolivia. Since red and yellow were used by many other South American teams, green became the main color. This led to their nickname "La Verde" ("The Green").
