Team Information
U-16 Chile National Team
The U-16 Chile National Team ran around fiercely for 90 minutes in the FIFA World Cup in Brazil last year to show off their swift attack and defence. The same spirit must have passed to this younger team. The players were gathered from the big clubs to play for Chile.
Some players are chosen from the youth teams of clubs familiar to Japan, such as Colo Colo, who participated in the Toyota Cup in 1991 as the South American champion, and Universidad de Chile, who played an exciting match against Kashima Antlers in the Suruga Bank Championship in 2012.
Head Coaches' Comments
Hernán Caputto, Head Coach (U-16 Chile National Team)
It will be a great experience for us, the U-16 Chile National Team, to visit Japan and see a new culture, not to mention taking part in the championship with other great teams. I appreciate the Japan Football Association for inviting us and look forward to playing in this high-level tournament.
