The represents
Colombia in international
Football competitions and is controlled by the
Federación Colombiana De Fútbol . It is also a member of
CONMEBOL .
Colombia did not participate in the world cup qualifying rounds from 1930 to 1954 but were quite active. They went on to win the Central American Cup in 1946, a cup they would win again in 1970. Colombia would first enter World Cup qualifying in the
1958 qualifiers but were unsuccessful. Colombia tied with Uruguay in Bogota 1-1 but lost in Montevideo 1-0. Later, Colombia narrowly lost against Paraguay 3-2 in Bogota and later in Asunción 3-0 leaving Colombia at the bottom of CONMEBOL Group 3 with 1 point.
In the
1962 qualifiers, they faced
Peru in a two-game series and qualified for their first World Cup.
CONMEBOL Group 3
qualified.
At Chile 1962, Colombia lost 2-1 to
Uruguay in their opening match. They then drew 4-4 with the
Soviet Union in one of biggest shocks at Chile 1962. Unfortunately their campaign ended with a 5-0 defeat to
Yugoslavia .
Group 1 - Chile 1962 Final Standings
Colombia entered the
1966 qualifiers and finished bottom of their group behind
Chile and
Ecuador . The
1970 qualifiers proved to be little better. In the
1974 qualifiers, Colombia finished behind Uruguay only on goal difference. In the 1975 Copa America, Colombia finished runners-up losing to Peru 2-0.
For the
1990 , South America was allocated three and a half berths at the 1990 finals, one of which went to Argentina as defending champions from Mexico 1986. The continent's nine remaining sides were split into three groups with the two automatic qualifying berths going to the two best group winners, in this instance Uruguay and Brazil. The group winner with the worst record would advance to the CONMEBOL / OFC Intercontinental Play-off. Thus Colombia had to take on the winners of the Oceania Zone. Curiously, this turned out to be Israel, after they finished ahead of Australia and New Zealand in the final qualifying group. Colombia qualified for their first FIFA World Cup since Chile 1962 after winning in Barranquilla 1-0, and tying in Israel 0-0.
At Italia '90, Colombia defeated United Arab Emirates 2-0, lost to Yugoslavia 1-0 and earned their place in the Round Of Sixteen after a dramatic 1-1 draw with West Germany, which would later win the cup. Colombia would be the only team Germany did not beat on their road to the cup.
Group D
During their Round Of Sixteen match against
Cameroon , the game went into Extra Time after a 0-0 draw. In an unfortunate moment, goalkeeper Rene Higuita failed to protect the ball 35 yards from the goal line, enabling Cameroon striker
Roger Milla to snatch it from him, and score Cameroon's decisive second goal. Milla struck twice, giving Cameroon a 2-0 lead in Extra Time. Colombia would score in the 115th minute, but were unable to get an equalizer.

Romania took the lead in the 16th minute with their first attack of the match when Raducioiu took on three defenders before firing home a low shot. On the half hour mark, Hagi made it 2-0 when he noticed Cordoba out of position and dipped a cross over his head into the net. Valencia pulled a goal back for the Colombians in the 43rd minute when he headed in a corner from Perez. In the second half, Raducioiu put the result beyond doubt with his second goal in the final few minutes.
