Amid Chile’s poor run in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, fans are revisiting the national team’s past campaigns, reflecting on the last time they earned a place on soccer’s biggest stage.
Although Chile’s present look far from promising due to their poor standing in World Cup qualifiers, their past tells a different story. The national team dominated CONMEBOL in 2015 and 2016 by winning back-to-back Copa America titles. However, their current form raises concerns. They have not won in four straight matches, which makes qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup increasingly unlikely.
