Bolivia have failed to qualify for a World Cup since their appearance at the 1994 World Cup in USA and former Bolivian international Marco Etcheverry has made it clear that it won't be easy for the Verde to qualify for a World Cup in the near future.
"It may take as many as eight years before we make it to a World Cup again. In qualifying for the last World Cup at South Africa 2010 we finished second from bottom among the 10 South American nations," said Etcheverry on the official FIFA website.
"To reach the World Cup we face tough opposition including Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay so we have to prepare ourselves well. We need to start from the base which is the youth as they represent the country’s footballing future.
"Our people are hoping we can have a high-level national team and our football federation have a strong vision of building the next generation of talent. Overseas experiences are good for a player to improve."
