Chilean Soccer





By Hugo Armijo

Chilean people practice different sports, however in this country they love soccer. This
sport has developed from the early years. Like most of the world, soccer is the biggest
sport in Chile. Kids of all ages play soccer in the streets, in empty fields, or anywhere
there is a ball.

Along the country there are little soccer fields called “ canchas “, these fields are
smaller playing areas made of concrete where people can play baby futbol or baby
soccer.

In Chile there are three big soccer clubs, they are Colo –Colo, Universidad de Chile and
Universidad Catolica. Thousand of people identify with them. Also, there are at least a
dozen of teams more, and huge soccer stadiums throughout Chile.
When the Chile team ( seleccion Chilena ) plays internationally, the entire country holds
its breath as it waits for a good outcome.
