History
After missing the first two editions of the Sudamericano Femenino de Futsal, Bolivia made their debut in the tournament in 2009, held in Campinas, Brazil. On 3 September 2009, they played their first-ever match, losing 1–3 to Peru. Despite a heavy defeat to Colombia in their second game, Bolivia bounced back to claim their first win against Uruguay, ultimately finishing sixth overall. Following the tournament, the team went on an eight-year hiatus before returning for the sixth edition of the newly rebranded Copa América de Futsal Femenina in Las Piedras, Uruguay. There, La Verde went winless, recording two draws in five matches and finishing in eighth place.
In 2018, Bolivia hosted the South American Games, which marked the debut of women’s futsal in the multi-sport event. Playing on home soil, the team secured a bronze medal [3] — a feat they repeated at the 2022 edition in Paraguay, where they recorded their biggest win to date with a 5–0 victory over Chile.[4][5]
