History

Chile is one of the first participants in the Copa América Femenina, when it did in the inaugural 1991 South American Women's Football Championship, 1991 edition, alongside Brazil women's national football team, Brazil and Venezuela women's national football team, Venezuela. Chile lost 1–6 to the Brazilian hosts and won 1–0 over Venezuela, thus failed to qualify for the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup. Chile then entered an era of decline in fortunes, only winning third place in 1995 South American Women's Football Championship, 1995 and 2010 South American Women's Football Championship, 2010. Following the failure to qualify for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Chile women's team had become inactive for three years, before the team was able to return in May 2017 for a friendly against Peru women's national football team, Peru, won by Chile 12–0. This marked the revival of Chile in women's football fortune, and following the 2018 Copa América Femenina as hosts, Chile rode to eventual second place with fan attendance of Chile's games nearly full, which also confirmed Chile a place in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, the first FIFA Women's World Cup in Chile's women's football history, and was seen with joys among Chilean supporters after its Chile national football team, men's counterparts failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and accusations of discrimination based on gender toward female footballers. Chile was drawn into the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup Group F, group F of the 2019 Women's World Cup, sharing group with two very powerful women's forces, world champions United States women's national soccer team, United States and Sweden women's national football team, Sweden, alongside Southeast Asian opponent and 2015 edition debutant Thailand women's national football team, Thailand. Sitting in a totally too difficult group, Chile nonetheless demonstrated brave performances against Sweden and the United States but could not gain a single point, losing 0–2 to Sweden and 0–3 to the United States respectively, or scoring a single goal. Chile's last match, however, was a crucial meeting against Thailand, whose fighting spirits were even more demoralised following two devastating losses to the United States and Sweden earlier. Chile salvaged with a historic 2–0 triumph over Thailand, but the penalty miss in late minutes by Francisca Lara saw Chile eliminated from the World Cup due to inferior goal differences with Nigeria women's national football team, Nigeria, which later progressed. Chile then took part in the Football at the 2020 Summer Olympics, 2020 Summer Olympics thanked to beating Cameroon women's national football team, Cameroon in the Football at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's qualification (CAF–CONMEBOL play-off), playoff, but facing stronger opponents Great Britain women's national football team, Great Britain, Canada women's national soccer team, Canada and hosts Japan women's national football team, Japan, the Chileans could not gain even just a draw, though not without putting strong fights as Chile's losses weren't as heavy as expected.
