Colombia is one of South America's best-ranked national teams, and are also the third nation of the continent to qualify for World Cup and the Olympics, besides Brazil and Argentina. Colombia was the first Spanish-speaking country to win a game in the Women's World Cup and whose women's team advanced beyond the group stage in a World Cup (in 2015). In 2023 Colombia first reached the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals.[6]
Las Cafeteras also had participated in all Copa América Femenina editions since 1998. Colombia were runners-up in 2010, 2014 and 2022.[7]
The Colombia women's national football team has been known or nicknamed as "Las Chicas Superpoderosas (The Powerpuff Girls)"[1][2] or "Las Cafeteras[3] (The Coffee Growers)".
Cali, home of the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium, is the main playing site of the Colombia women's national football team. The stadium was the site for the 2022 Copa América Femenina, a tournament which consistently drew average crowds of 25,000 per match. Colombia made it to the finals in the tournament but ultimately lost to Brazil in the final.[8]
