Medal record

The Bolivia national football team, also known as La Verde (The Green), represents Bolivia in international men's football games. The team is managed by the Federación Boliviana de Fútbol (Bolivian Football Federation). It is one of ten teams in FIFA's South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL).
Bolivia has played in the World Cup three times. They participated in 1930 and 1950. Their last appearance was in 1994. In all World Cups, they did not get past the first round. They have only scored one goal in a World Cup, which happened in 1994.
Despite their World Cup record, Bolivia has done well in the Copa América. They won the tournament at home in 1963. They also finished second in 1997, which they also hosted. In the 2015 Copa América, they reached the quarter-finals. This was their best result since 1997. They beat Ecuador 3–2 in that tournament. This win also ended a long streak without a victory in the Copa América. Their previous win was in 1997 against Mexico.

Team History

Bolivia played its first international football match in 1926. This was one year after the Bolivian Football Federation was created. They joined FIFA in the same year. Bolivia played in the 1926 South American Championship in Chile. Their first game was against the host team, Chile, on October 12, 1926. Bolivia scored first but lost 7–1. They also lost their next three matches. These were against Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
In 1930, Bolivia was invited to the first World Cup in Uruguay. Bolivia was in Group 2. They lost both their games 4–0. They played against Yugoslavia and Brazil. The game against Yugoslavia was their last against a non-South American team until 1972.
Bolivia returned for the 1950 FIFA World Cup. They got a spot automatically because Argentina pulled out of the qualifiers. Bolivia was in a group with Uruguay. Their only game was an 8–0 loss to Uruguay.
Bolivia's biggest football success was winning the 1963 South American Championship. They hosted the tournament and finished first among seven countries. They were undefeated with five wins and one draw. Their only draw was 4–4 against Ecuador. Playing at high altitudes helped them. In the next tournament in 1967, Bolivia finished last. This was a big disappointment for their fans.
Later, football in Bolivia improved. The Academia Tahuichi Aguilera football school opened in 1978. It helped develop talented players like Marco Etcheverry, Erwin Sánchez, and Luis Cristaldo.
Under Spanish coach Xabier Azkargorta, Bolivia made history. They became the first team to beat Brazil in the 1994 World Cup qualifiers. They won 2–0 in La Paz. Nine players from the Tahuichi school were on the team. Bolivia qualified for the 1994 FIFA World Cup by finishing second in their group. They had big wins, including 7–0 and 7–1 against Venezuela.
In the 1994 World Cup, Bolivia was in Group C. They played against defending champions Germany. Bolivia lost 1–0 after one of their players, Marco Etcheverry, was sent off. They then drew 0–0 with South Korea. In their last game, they lost 3–1 to Spain. Sánchez scored Bolivia's first World Cup goal in that match.
After the World Cup, Bolivia played in the 1995 Copa América. They reached the quarter-finals for the first time since 1963. They lost 2–1 to Uruguay. In 1997, Bolivia hosted the Copa América again. They reached the final but lost 3–1 to Brazil.
Because they were runners-up in the 1997 Copa América, Bolivia played in the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup. They were in Group A with Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. They drew 2–2 with Egypt and 0–0 with Saudi Arabia. They lost 1–0 to Mexico and were eliminated.
In the 2015 Copa América in Chile, Bolivia was in Group A. They drew 0–0 with Mexico. They then beat Ecuador 3–2. This win helped them reach the quarter-finals. It was their first time in the quarter-finals since 1997. Bolivia lost 3–1 to Peru in the quarter-finals. Marcelo Moreno scored their only goal from a penalty. In the next three Copa América tournaments, Bolivia lost all their games.
In 2021, the new president of the Bolivian Football Federation, Fernando Costa Sarmiento, promised to improve football in Bolivia. He wanted to make it more professional. On March 28, 2023, Bolivia won an away game against a World Cup team. They beat Saudi Arabia 2–1 in a friendly match.
Home Stadiums
Bolivia used to play home matches at Estadio Hernando Siles. This stadium is very high up, at 3,637 meters (11,932 feet) above sea level. Many visiting teams complained that this altitude gave Bolivia an unfair advantage. FIFA, the world football body, first tried to ban games at such high altitudes. However, after many complaints, they changed the rules. They made an exception for La Paz. In 2008, FIFA removed the altitude limit completely.
In 2024, the Bolivian Football Federation decided to change their home stadium. They now play home games at Estadio Municipal de El Alto. This stadium is even higher, at 4,150 meters (13,615 feet) above sea level. The coach said they would play where the players live.
Team Look
Kit History
Bolivia's first uniforms were all white. In the 1930 FIFA World Cup, they wrote "Viva Uruguay" on their jerseys to please the local fans. In a game against Brazil, they borrowed Uruguay's blue uniform because Brazil also wore white. In 1945, they wrote "Viva Chile" on their jerseys for the hosts.
In 1946, Bolivia changed their jerseys to black and white stripes. These were the colors of the Cochabamba region. The next year, they went back to white. In 1957, the Federation decided to use the colors of the Flag of Bolivia. Since many other South American teams used red and yellow, green became the main color. This is how they got their nickname, "La Verde" (The Green).
