Medal record

The Chile national football team, often called La Roja (which means "The Red One" in Spanish), represents Chile in international men's football games. The team is managed by the Federación de Fútbol de Chile, which started in 1895. Chile has played in nine World Cup tournaments. They hosted the 1962 FIFA World Cup and finished in third place, which is their best World Cup result ever.
Chile won their first Copa América title in 2015 on their home ground, beating Argentina in the final. The next year, they won the Copa América Centenario in the United States, again defeating Argentina in a penalty shootout. Before these wins, Chile had been runners-up in the Copa América four times. Because they won the 2015 Copa América, they got to play in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. They finished second in that tournament, losing to Germany in their first time playing in the event.

The History of La Roja
The Football Federation of Chile is one of the oldest football groups in South America, founded in Valparaíso on June 19, 1895. Chile was one of the four founding countries of CONMEBOL, the South American football confederation. Along with Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, they played in the first South American Championship (now called the Copa América) in 1916.
Chile was one of the 13 teams that played in the very first World Cup in 1930. They started strong, winning against Mexico and France without letting in any goals. However, a 3-1 loss to Argentina meant they finished second in their group and were out of the tournament. In the 1950 World Cup, Chile beat the United States 5-2, but they were still eliminated in the first round.
Chile's best performance in the World Cup was third place in 1962, when they were the host country. They lost 4-2 to Brazil in the semi-final, but then beat Yugoslavia 1-0 to secure third place. Chilean players also made some World Cup firsts: Guillermo Subiabre was the first player to miss a penalty kick in a World Cup match in 1930, and Carlos Caszely was the first player to get a red card in a World Cup game in 1974.
A famous event called "El Maracanazo" happened on September 3, 1989. During a World Cup qualifying match against Brazil in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was leading 1-0. Chile's goalkeeper, Roberto Rojas, fell to the ground with an injury. A firework had landed nearby. The Chilean team said it wasn't safe to play, and the game stopped. However, videos showed that the firework did not hit Rojas. FIFA decided that Brazil won the game, and Chile was banned from the next World Cup qualifiers. Rojas was also banned from football for life, though he was later allowed to return in 2001.
After some changes in coaches, Marcelo Bielsa became Chile's manager. On October 16, 2008, Chile made history by beating Argentina 1-0 in a qualifying match for the first time ever. This was a big achievement for the team.
Chile finished second in the qualifiers for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and reached the Round of 16 in the tournament. Marcelo Bielsa then left his coaching role in 2011. Claudio Borghi took over, but after some difficult games, Jorge Sampaoli became the new manager in December 2012. Sampaoli, who was inspired by Bielsa, helped La Roja achieve great results.

With Sampaoli as coach, Chile qualified for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. They reached the Round of 16, where they lost to the host nation, Brazil, in a penalty shootout.
In the 2015 Copa América, Chile won their first game 2-0 against Ecuador. They drew against Mexico and moved to the knockout stage as group winners. They then beat Uruguay and Peru. In the final, Chile defeated Argentina in a penalty shootout (4-1) after a 0-0 draw, winning their first Copa América title!
In January 2016, Jorge Sampaoli left his role as manager. Juan Antonio Pizzi took over and led La Roja to win the Copa América Centenario in 2016, again beating Argentina in the final.
Chile played in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia because they won the Copa América. They won their first game against Cameroon 2-0. They drew 1-1 with Germany and also drew with Australia. They made it to the semi-finals, where they beat Portugal in a penalty shootout (3-0). In their first ever final in a FIFA tournament, Chile lost 1-0 to Germany.
On October 10, 2017, Chile lost 3-0 to Brazil and did not qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. This was a tough moment for what many called their "golden generation" of players.
Team Colors and Sponsors
The team's home uniform is a red jersey, blue shorts, and either red or white socks. The away uniform is a white jersey, white shorts, and blue socks. These red, white, and blue colors have been used since 1947. In 2016, red shorts became an option for the first time.
Different companies have made Chile's uniforms over the years. From 2011 to 2015, Puma was the official kit supplier. After that, Nike took over from 2015 to 2021. Since 2021, Adidas has been the national team's kit supplier, and they will continue until 2026.

Home Stadium
The Chile national team plays its home qualifying matches at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos. This stadium is in Santiago, Chile. It was built starting in February 1937 and opened on December 3, 1938. The stadium can officially hold 49,000 fans, but it has held over 75,000 people for very popular matches, like the 1962 FIFA World Cup semi-final between Chile and Brazil. The highest number of people ever at the stadium was 85,262 in 1962.
The Estadio Nacional has hosted four Copa América finals, the final of the 1962 FIFA World Cup, and the final of the 1987 FIFA World Youth Championship.
Big Rivalries
Chile doesn't have one main rival, but games against Argentina and Peru are always very important.
Argentina
Chile and Argentina have played 96 games against each other, making it the most common opponent for Chile. Their first game was in Buenos Aires on May 27, 1910. Matches between these two teams always attract large crowds in Chile. Out of 90 games, Chile had only won 1 official match until their victories in the 2015 and 2016 Copa América finals, which they won in penalty shootouts.
Peru
The football rivalry between Chile and Peru is known as the Clásico del Pacífico ("Pacific Derby"). This rivalry is considered one of the most intense in the world. It comes from historical events and border disputes between the two countries. The rivalry has led to some very exciting matches in South American football history. Chile first played Peru in 1935 and lost 1-0.
Brazil
While Brazil has a strong record against Chile, these two teams have met in the knockout stages of the last three World Cups Chile played in: 1998, 2010, and 2014. In the 2014 World Cup, their match ended 1-1 after extra time. Brazil won 3-2 in a penalty shootout, with their goalkeeper saving two penalties. They also met in the semi-finals of the 1962 World Cup, where Brazil won and went on to win the tournament.
Brazil also defeated Chile in important qualifying games for the 1990, 2018, and 2022 FIFA World Cups, which meant Chile did not qualify for those tournaments. The 1990 qualifier included the famous "Maracanazo" incident, where Chile's goalkeeper was involved in a controversy that led to Chile being disqualified from that World Cup and banned from the next one.
