The Ultimate Soccer Experience: A Journey Through the World’s Most Beautiful Fans Of the Game

Chile

Chile has, according to records, nine times advanced to the FIFA World Cup finals. They had their best performance when they conducted the competition in 1962. Many people were surprised by the choice of Chile to host the 7th World Cup.

One would have anticipated Argentina to be nominated as it was South America’s time, but Chile was chosen instead due to political unrest in Argentina. Chile vs. Italy in 1962, also known as “La Batalla de Santiago,” was one of the most sensational World Cup matches ever played. The team hasn’t competed in a World Cup tournament since being eliminated in the round of 16 in 2014.
