Who are the key players to watch for Chile at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup?

Christiane Endler, PSG's goalkeeper, is the best footballer and captain of the Chilean team. Her saves were key to see Chile book tickets to play in this competition, while her massive experience -she has played professional football since she was 15- makes her a lock in almost all lineups for the Girls in Red.

Chile will also have Francisca Lara around. The 28-year-old midfielder is Chile's all-time top scorer, having scored 20 goals for La Roja. Lara got her start in Chilean teams such as Ferroviarios and Cobreloa, before moving to the Spanish top flight with Sporting Huelva. She currently plays for Sevilla.

Who is Chile's coach?

José Letelier, former Chile goalkeeper, is now in charge of this team's tactics. Letelier is the only man in history to win the Copa Libertadores as a player (in 1991, with Colo Colo), and as a coach of a women's team (again, with Colo Colo in 2012). He has been in charge of the Girls in Red since 2015.
