The
Chilean national football team represents Chile
in all major
international football
competitions. The team is controlled by the
Federación de Fútbol de
Chile which was established in 1895. They have appeared in
seven
World Cup tournaments and were
hosts of the
1962 FIFA World Cup
finishing in third place.
History
The
Federación
de Fútbol de Chile is the second oldest South American
federation, with 114 years of existence.
Its foundation dates
back to 19 June 1895 in the port city of Valparaiso
. Its first President was David Scott.
Chile is one of the four founding member nations of
CONMEBOL which include Argentina, Brazil, and
Uruguay. The members established the South American footballing
organization on 9 July 1916. The four associations enacted and
participated in the first held South American Championship which
would later be re-named the
Copa
America.
Chile is one of the original thirteen national teams that competed
in the inaugural
1930 World
Cup. They started off well beating
Mexico and
France without conceding a
goal. A 3-1 loss to Argentina in their
final game left them in second place within the group, eliminating
them from the tournament. In the 1950 World Cup, Chile was
eliminated in the first round but defeated the
United States
5-2.
Their best World Cup result was a third place finish in
1962, when Chile was the host
nation. Chile lost 4-2 to eventual champions
Brazil in a semifinals match.
Chile went on to defeat
Yugoslavia 1-0 for third
place.
Many historical incidences have occurred while Chile has been
involved in World Cup competition. The first player to miss a World
Cup penalty kick was
Guillermo
Subiabre in a
1930 FIFA World
Cup match against
France. Carlos Caszely of
Chile became the first player to be officially sent off with a red
card in a
1974 World Cup game, during
their match against West Germany. Red cards were formally
introduced in World Cup play in 1970, but no players were sent off
in that tournament.
In
Olympic tournament play, Chile's
best result was the Bronze medal at the
2000 Sydney Olympic Games, with striker
Ivan Zamorano the competition's top
scorer.
Chile has also attained bronze medals in both the U-17 World Cup
held in
Japan and
the U-20 World Cup in
Canada. The
1987 FIFA World Youth
Championship hosted in Chile had the national team finishing in
fourth place.
Notable past Chilean players include
Guillermo Subiabre,
Sergio Livingstone,
George Robledo,
Enrique Hormazabal,
Leonel Sánchez,
Elías Figueroa,
Carlos Caszely,
Marcelo Salas and
Ivan Zamorano.
World Cup history
1930 World Cup

The Chilean national team during the
1930 FIFA World Cup.
At the
first ever FIFA World Cup held in
Uruguay 1930, Chile
was to be
among the first of thirteen nations invited to participate in the
inaugural tournament.
The manager in charge of the Chilean national team was the young
Hungarian
György Orth. Chile was
part of Group 1 that included national teams such as
Argentina,
Mexico, and
France.
Chile had an impressive start defeating the Mexican national team
by a score of 3-0 on 16 July, then beating France 1-0 on 19 July.
Sharing
the same amount of points, the decisive game was against the
neighboring country of Argentina
. The game was played on 22 July at the
Estadio
Centenario
in Montevideo, Uruguay
. The game ended 3-1 in Argentina's favor,
and the scoreline prevented Chile from qualifying onto the second
round.
1950 World Cup
The 1950
edition of the FIFA World Cup was
held in the South American country of Brazil
. The
Chilean national team manager at the tournament was
Alberto Bucciardi, while the team captain
was the starting goal keeper
Sergio
Livingstone.
"La Roja" were located in group 2 and Chile
eventually lost their first two games against Spain
and England
by the
similar score of 2-0. The last match was played with the United States
where Chile went on to win by a score of 5-2, even
though it was not to be enough for Chile in advancing onto the next
round of the tournament.
1962 World Cup

Chile national team in 1962
The
1962 World Cup in Chile
was to be
the third World Cup hosted on South American
soil.In 1960 the Great
Chilean Earthquake
would strike the country with the highest recorded
magnitude in world history of 9.5 on the Richter scale.
Despite the natural disaster plans went as followed for Chile to be
the host nation of this World Cup tournament.
The host country won their first match against
Switzerland by 3-1. The
second match against
Italy (2-0) became known as the
Battle of Santiago. Although only
two players were sent off by the English referee
Ken Aston, the match saw repeated, deliberate
attempts from players on both sides to harm opponents, and the
teams needed police protection to leave the field in safety. Years
later Ken Aston went on to invent the yellow and red cards used in
football.
Chile defeated European champions
USSR that included
Lev Yashin to land themselves a semi-final game
against the defending
World
Champions Brazil
but a capacity crowd of 76,600 watched Brazil beat the hosts 4-2.
This game saw
Garrincha sent off for
Brazil and Landa sent off for Chile. Chile eventually went on to
take third place in a 1-0 victory over
Yugoslavia in the playoff.
The team is said to have eaten
Swiss
cheese before beating Switzerland,
spaghetti before beating Italy, and drank
vodka before beating the USSR. They also drank
coffee before the match against Brazil,
although they did not win that match. This was Chile's best
performance in a World Cup.
1966 World Cup
England
was the
stage for the eighth World Cup. It was also to be the first
European World Cup that Chile would participate in.
Qualifying for the
1966 edition ended with a play-off between Ecuador
in Lima,
Peru
on 12 October 1965. The current Chilean
manager at the time Francisco Hormazabal decided to resign from
that position. Chile immediately needed a replacement, and
Luis Alamos would take the reins of the national
team. The match against Ecuador finished 2-1 in Chile's favor, both
goals scored by
Leonel Sanchez and
Ruben Marcos, and the result secured
Chile's World Cup berth.
Chile was unable to repeat the same success found in the previous
World Cup of 1962.
Among the nations congregated in group 4
which included the Soviet
Union
, Italy, and North Korea
, Chile was only able to gain 1 point with a 1-1
draw against North Korea. Chile scored two goals in the 1966
World Cup both coming from Ruben Marcos.
1974 World Cup
Chile qualified for
Deutschland 74
after a controversial play-off with the
USSR.
Following a drawn
first leg in Moscow, the Soviets refused to play the second leg at
the Estadio
Nacional
in Santiago
, which had been used as a concentration camp by the
military dictatorship of Pinochet. However, FIFA
refused to
switch the match to a neutral venue, and the Soviets refused to fly
to Santiago. The Chilean players kicked off on an otherwise
empty pitch, scored into the unguarded USSR net, and because there
was no opposition to restart the game, the referee awarded the
match to Chile, ensuring they qualified for the 1974 finals.
At the tournament itself, Chile lost their opening game 1-0 to
West Germany in
Berlin, thanks to a long-range shot from
Paul Breitner. Striker
Carlos Caszely was controversially sent off
in the second half.
Guided by coach
Luis Alamos, Chile then
fought out a 1-1 draw with
East Germany, again in
Berlin. Martin Hoffmann put the GDR ahead, but
Sergio Ahumada equalised with 20 minutes
left. Finally, they got another draw, this time a goalless one,
against
Australia,
which eliminated both teams.
1982 World Cup
At
España 82, the Chileans performed
poorly with an aging team in which
Carlos
Caszely and the 35-year-old central defender
Elias Figueroa were still the main men.
Guided by coach
Luis Santibañez
they lost their first game 1-0 to
Austria in Oviedo,
Walter Schachner scoring the only goal
midway through the first half. Caszely missed a penalty soon
afterwards.
Chile were then beaten 4-1 in Gijón by a
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge-inspired
West Germany,
with goalkeeper
Mario Osbén making
a couple of costly errors;
Gustavo
Moscoso grabbed a late consolation goal. Finally, against
Algeria, Chile were
overrun in the first half and went in at half-time 3-0 behind, but
managed to save some face with second-half goals from
Miguel Neira and
Juan Carlos Letelier.
Disqualification and banishment from the 1990 & 1994 World
Cups
La Roja's most infamous moment known as
The
Roberto Rojas Scandal (also known in Chile as the
"Maracanazo") occurred on 3 September 1989.
During a 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifying match at
Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã
stadium, Brazil led Chile 1-0. A defeat for
Chile would eliminate them from the tournament. At around the
67-minute mark, Chilean goalkeeper
Roberto
"Cóndor" Rojas fell to the pitch with an apparent injury to his
forehead. A
firework, thrown from the
stands by a Brazilian fan named Rosemary de Mello, was smouldering
about a yard away. After carrying Rojas off the pitch, the Chilean
players and coaches refused to return claiming conditions were not
safe. The match went unfinished.
After
studying video footage of the match showing that the firework had
not made contact with Rojas, FIFA
awarded
Brazil a 2-0 win (eliminating Chile from the 1990 World
Cup). The team was banned from the qualifiers of the
1994 Football World Cup, and
Rojas was banned for life (although an amnesty was granted in
2001).
1998 World Cup
Chile
qualified for the World Cup in France
in 1998
having been banned from entering the 1994 tournament. They
were drawn in Group B, along with
Italy,
Cameroon and
Austria. With much expected
of their strike partnership of
Marcelo
Salas and
Iván Zamorano,
Chile drew impressively with Italy in Bordeaux in their opening
match, 2-2, with Salas scoring both goals in reply to
Christian Vieri's opener. The game was most
noted for
Roberto Baggio's late
equalizer for Italy with an extremely controversial penalty,
banishing memories of his fatal miss in the 1994 final against
Brazil in Los Angeles.
But due to this bad performance, the referee
Lucien Bouchardeau from Niger
was
dismissed from further matches during the WC.
Chile drew their next two matches 1-1.
The first was a cagey
game with Austria
in St-Étienne
. Salas opened the scoring with a disputed
goal scored from close range (the Austrians protested his shot
never crossed the line), but Austria, as they had in their first
match against Cameroon
, equalised in the last minute, Ivica Vastic scoring a spectacular long-range
effort.
Against
Cameroon in Nantes
five days
later, José Luis Sierra's
free-kick gave Chile the lead, but the Africans fought back
strongly and equalised with a header from Patrick Mboma. Despite having
Rigobert Song and
Lauren Etame Mayer sent off, Cameroon
played a good second half, but Chile was able to keep the
result.
Italy had
been the only team to win in the group, so Chile's unbeaten record
took them into the last 16, and a tie with South American rivals
Brazil at the Parc des
Princes
in Paris. The Brazilians took Chile to
pieces in the first half, despite Zamorano's superb performance
(the footage of him passionately singing the national anthem prior
to kick-off was one of the most enduring images of the tournament).
César Sampaio scored twice early
on, and a
Ronaldo penalty made
it 3-0 before half-time. Chile courageously kept fighting, and
Salas got his fourth goal of the competition, heading in a rebound
after
Claudio Taffarel had saved
from Zamorano, but Ronaldo scored again quickly and Chile were out
of the tournament. Despite the loss finishing among the top 16 of
the tournament was perceived as a prosperous campaign amid the
disappointments with controversy and scandal that had disqualified
Chile in previous World Cup tournaments.
2010 World Cup
On 10 October 2009, Chile qualified for the
2010 World Cup with a 4-2 away win against
Colombia. At the end
of the
qualification
they eventually finished in second place, ahead of
Paraguay on goal difference
following the latter's defeat to Colombia..
Current status
Chile finished with a record of 4 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in
the matches played in 2006. It all started with the friendlies
preparing teams for the 2006 World Cup. The tour included many of
the players who started in
Copa
America 2007 as well as the 2010 World Cup Qualifiers.
They beat
the Republic of
Ireland 1-0 in Dublin
, drew with
the Cote
d'Ivoire 1-1 in Paris,
France
and drew with Sweden 1-1 in the Råsunda
Stadium
Stockholm
. Chile lost to Colombia 2-1 in Santiago de
Chile
but beat Peru twice, 3-2 in a home game
in Viña del
Mar
and 1-0 in an away game in Tacna
, Peru
, a few days
later. The team then beat Paraguay 3-2 in Viña del
Mar
, Chile
.
The year
ended with a 1-0 loss to Aragón in Zaragoza
, Spain
with
Elías Figueroa as a guest coach
and a "B" team. In 2007 in February, they earned a 1-0
victory over Venezuela, but in March, in
the return to Sweden
(this time
in Gothenburg
), the team lost against Brazil 4-0.
The next
week,in Talca
, the team
drew 1-1 against Costa
Rica. Chile then drew 0-0 against Argentina, in Mendoza,
Argentina
.

On 11 July 2007, the
Chilean Football
Federation banned six of the national team players, because of
"internal indiscipline" during the
Copa
America tournament, for 20 international matches each and none
of the players will ever be allowed to captain the national team.
The players banned were captain
Jorge
Valdivia, defenders
Álvaro
Ormeño,
Rodrigo Tello,
Jorge Vargas and
Pablo Contreras and striker
Reinaldo Navia. Nelson Acosta's resignation
as manager came after Chile were knocked out of the 2007 Copa
America. Chile had qualified to the quarter-finals after a win
against Ecuador 3-2, and a draw against Mexico 0-0. But, two losses
against Brazil sealed Acosta's fate. Former Argentina manager
Marcelo Bielsa was given the task of
becoming the current Chile national team manager in preparation for
the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.In 16 October 2008, Chile beat
Argentina 1-0 for
the first time in a qualifying competition, making history. Marcelo
Bielsa was acclaimed for this defeat from both Chilean and
Argentinian people, and this was one of the reasons that ended in
the resigning of
Alfio Basile from the
Argentinian bench.
