The Colombia women's national football team (Spanish: Selección femenina de fútbol de Colombia) represents Colombia in international women's football competitions and is controlled by the Colombian Football Federation. They are a member of the CONMEBOL. The team is currently ranked 18th in the FIFA Ranking and has qualified for three FIFA Women's World Cups, in Germany 2011, Canada 2015 and Australia–New Zealand 2023.
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 have also participated in all Copa América Femenina editions since 1998. Colombia were runners-up in 2010, 2014, 2022 and 2025.[7]
