The Colombian soccer league was first formed in 1948, though some teams existed independently before that. The Colombian Football League and Federation had a dispute with FIFA that led to the league and federation spending its early years outside of the FIFA organization. Because of the dispute, its national teams were suspended from international play. The Colombian football league in the '50s and '60s was dominated by Colombian domestic football, and in the 90s was dominated by solid international performances from the national team. The national team under the federation achieved great success, reaching all three World Cups in the '90s. In January 2024, the Colombian Football Federation met with the leaders of the CONMEBOL Evolution program, which focuses on the development of South American Football. The FCF chose to partner with CONMEBOL to strengthen and further develop grassroots football, women's football,
Futsal, and
Beach soccer in the communities of Colombia and all of South America. In January, the Colombian Football Federation started the Master in High-Performance Football program which aimed to expand the knowledge and training of their coaching staff in their youth boys and girls national programs. The program was developed in alliance with MBP School of Coaches based in
Barcelona, consisting of content on individual and collective tactics, training methodology, and both the physical and psychological aspects of football. The education program was set to last 8 months. == 2024 Copa América final ==
