On October 12, 1926 Chile achieved the first corner goal of Copa America history in a match against Bolivia. Chile was among the 13 national teams who participated in the first World Cup in 1930. The team had a great start by beating Mexico as well as France and not conceding a single goal. The loss of 3-1 in the final game against Argentina during the last match ended the Chilean team second within the group, and eliminated it from the competition. In 1950's World Cup, Chile defeated the United States, 5-2, however, they were eliminated in the opening round.

The most successful Chilean performance at the World Cup was third place in 1962, when it was Chile was the hosts nation.

In the 90 FIFA World Cup qualifying match in Rio's Maracana stadium Brazil had a lead of Chile 1-1 and La Roja required a win. Chilean goalkeeper Roberto Rojas fell to the pitch and suffered an apparent head injury. A firework was thrown into the stands by an Brazilian fan who was named Rosenery Mello do Nascimento and was burning about a foot away. Following the incident, Rojas was removed from the field, Chilean team and their coaches stated that the conditions were not safe , and they did not want to return, which is why the game was canceled. However, video footage from the game revealed that the firework hadn't hit Rojas. FIFA cancelled the match in Brazil, Chile was banned from qualifying in 1994's FIFA World Cup, and Rojas was exiled for life, but an amnesty was granted to him in 2001.

On the 19th of July, 2007 on 19 July 2007, the Chilean Football Federation banned six of the players from the national team due to "internal irresponsibility" in the Copa America tournament, for 20 international matches per match because they damaged the team's hotel's property when they were drunk.

Nelson Acosta's resignation as manager was announced following the fact that Chile were eliminated from in 2007's Copa America. After being banned for 10 games, suspension, every player, except of Ormeno wrote an apology letter acknowledging their actions, which allowed them to be released from the suspension. Chile was in the quarter-finals with an 3-2 victory over Ecuador and a 0-0 draw with Mexico. However, two losses, one being a 6-1 loss against Brazil was the final straw for Acosta's fate. A former Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa was appointed to being the Chile national team's manager in prepping for World Cup in 2010. World Cup qualifiers.
