Welcome to the IC of Bolivia

La comunidad internacional del tenis celebra la incorporación oficial del International Club (IC) de Bolivia, cuya creación fue aprobada durante la Asamblea General Anual (AGM) del IC celebrada en julio 2025. La noticia marca un hito para el tenis boliviano y posiciona al país dentro de una red global que promueve los valores del deporte y la amistad entre naciones.

Bolivia posee una destacada trayectoria en el tenis que comenzó a principios del siglo XX con la llegada de inmigrantes británicos y estadounidenses que trabajaban en la construcción de ferrocarriles y en la minería. Estas comunidades introdujeron el deporte en los campamentos mineros de Uyuni y Oruro. Posteriormente, el 24 de marzo de 1937, se fundó la Federación Boliviana de Tenis (FBT) en la localidad de Catavi, Potosí, con el objetivo de organizar y promover el tenis en el país. Actualmente, la FBT está afiliada a la Federación Internacional de Tenis (ITF) y a la Confederación Sudamericana de Tenis.
