Chile in FIFA World Cups
Out of the 22 FIFA Men’s World Cups that have taken place, Chile has qualified for nine. As host in 1962, the Chilean soccer team achieved third place with a 1-0 win against the former Czechoslovakia.Chile was suspended from the 1990 World Cup qualifiers and banned for the following championship due to an incident that had taken place during a match against Brazil in Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium in 1989. On that day, the Chilean goalkeeper pretended to have been injured by a flare thrown onto the field by a spectator.
