FIFA World Cup
Colombia's national team qualified for five World Cups, including Chile 1962, Italy 1990, United States 1994, France 1998 and Brazil 2014. For the first time ever, they made it to the quarterfinals in FIFA World Cup history in Brazil 2014, defeating Uruguay without Luis Suarez. In Brazil 2014, they move on to the quarterfinals to challenge host nation Brazil. This would be their best result at a single World Cup, but lost the game 2-1 with James Rodriguez scoring late and ended up finishing fifth. Their streak ended (1990-1998) of three FIFA World Cups when they did not qualify for South Korea and Japan 2002.
Colombia has qualified for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany by finishing second in the championship for their confederation behind Brazil. The Colombian women managed to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics in Great Britain. The women's team also qualified for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup; and the 2016 Summer Olympics.
