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.

Rod Laver adds his name to the IC Junior Challenge!

Rod Laver adds his name to the IC Junior Challenge!

 

The Council is delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with Rod Laver to use his name in the title of the IC Junior Challenge now that the Compass Group are no longer involved.

This means that from 2019, we will be staging the following events:

The IC Rod Laver South American Junior Challenge

The IC Rod Laver North American Junior Challenge

The IC Rod Laver European Junior Challenge

The IC Rod Laver African Junior Challenge

The IC Rod Laver Asian/Oceanian Junior Challenge

The IC Rod Laver World-wide Junior Challenge Finals  (every other year) 

Rod has always had an interest in encouraging juniors and he was keen to be associated with this prestigious IC event, which has been running for the last 14 years under the Compass banner. We are really pleased to have his involvement, which will considerably enhance the status of the event and hopefully encourage even more juniors to want to play in the IC Junior Challenge.  

Rod has been invited to honour us with his presence if he is in the same vicinity as the various Challenges, where I know this absolute tennis legend will be warmly welcomed.
