Colombian football clubs in international competitions

Colombian football clubs have entered South American association football competitions, as of Copa Libertadores^[1] and Copa Sudamericana^[2] since 1960, when Millonarios participated in the first edition of Copa Libertadores. In 2016, Atlético Nacional became the first Colombian club to take part in the FIFA Club World Cup.^[3]

Copa Libertadores is considered the most important club tournament in South America. Two Colombian clubs have won this tournament: Atlético Nacional have won twice (in 1989 and 2016), Once Caldas have won it once (in 2004). Copa Sudamericana has been won by a Colombian club once: Santa Fe in 2015.
