🌍 FIFA World Cup History at a Glance
The FIFA World Cup is the most-watched sporting event in the world since it was first played in 1930 in Uruguay. What began as a small tournament with just 13 teams has grown into a truly global competition, set to feature 48 teams from the 2026 edition onward.
South America has been at the heart of World Cup history, not only because of its iconic teams and legendary players but also due to the unforgettable moments it has given the tournament. Football giants such as Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay have set global standards, while Chile has also played an important role, most notably by hosting the FIFA World Cup in 1962.
That tournament is remembered for its intensity and drama, as well as Chile’s remarkable run to third place. Together, these nations have shaped the World Cup’s historic legacy and strengthened its worldwide appeal for generations to come.
The most recent edition, FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, produced one of the greatest finals ever played and reaffirmed the tournament’s unmatched global appeal.

Chile at the FIFA World Cup
Chile are a strong international football team, best known for their high intensity, pressing style, and tactical discipline. Their highest achievement at the FIFA World Cup came in 1962, when Chile finished in third place as the host nation.
Over the past several decades, Chile have been a regular participant in major international tournaments, with their biggest highlights being the back-to-back Copa América titles in 2015 and 2016. World Cup qualification in South America has always been extremely competitive, but Chile have consistently shown strong ambition in every qualifying cycle. However, Chile last featured in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and since then failed to qualify for the big stage.
Although La Roja is not part of the 2026 World Cup, the expanded 48-team format of the FIFA World Cups increases the number of South American representatives, giving Chile a renewed opportunity to return to the world stage and aim for a deep tournament run.
