Bolivia — last major trophy
Time since last trophy
Bolivia won their only Copa America title as hosts, finishing top of a round-robin group played entirely in La Paz's high altitude, which is widely credited as a decisive advantage.
Bolivia's only Copa America title came in 1963, won as hosts under a round-robin format played entirely in La Paz, a city sitting at roughly 3,600 meters above sea level — an altitude widely credited as a decisive advantage for the home side against opponents unaccustomed to the thin air. Bolivia finished top of the group unbeaten, their sole continental triumph in over a century of international football. Bolivia's only World Cup appearances came in 1930, 1950, and 1994, with a group-stage exit each time, and the national team has generally struggled against the much stronger Brazilian and Argentine programs in South American qualification, with altitude-advantage home wins in La Paz remaining one of the team's few consistent strengths in continental competition.
