Colombia is one of the best national teams in South America. They are the third country on the continent to qualify for both the World Cup and the Olympics, after Brazil and Argentina. In 2015, they were the first Spanish-speaking country to win a game in the Women's World Cup and the first whose women's team got past the group stage in 2015.
Las Cafeteras, as they are sometimes called, have been in every Copa América Femenina tournament since 1998. They finished second in 2010, 2014, and 2022.[6]
