Bolivia first fielded a beach soccer team at the 2014 Bolivarian Beach Games in Huanchaco, Peru.[3] Subsequently, in 2015, La Verde became the final of the 10 members of CONMEBOL to start competing in the Beach Soccer World Cup qualifiers, meaning all 10 were contesting the event together for the first time.[4] Since then, Bolivia have remained an active team, becoming regulars at the major CONMEBOL events of the World Cup qualifiers, Copa América and Liga Sudamericana, however have yet to achieve a podium finish.
