The FIFA World Cup is an international association football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body.
The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II.
[1] Bolivia has qualified for the World Cup on three occasions, in 1930, 1950 and 1994, with two first editions being invited to compete.
In the 1930 and 1950 editions, Bolivia was drawn into groups with less than four teams, allowing those years' squads to earn fewer caps.
The only Bolivian goal at a FIFA World Cup was scored by Erwin Sánchez during their 1–3 defeat against Spain in 1994.
