Since then, Colombia have remained an active team, becoming regulars at the major CONMEBOL events of the World Cup qualifiers, Copa América and Liga Sudamericana, their best finish was 3rd place at the Copa América de Beach Soccer in 2023. The team will make their debut at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in 2023.
