Bogotá, Colombia – October 8, 2025. Chile’s U20 National Team ended its World Cup run with a tough 4-0 defeat against Mexico, a result that confirmed their elimination from the tournament.
The match, played at El Campín Stadium in Bogotá, showcased a dominant Mexican side in every aspect of the game. With goals from Andrea Salinas (two), Mariana Pérez, and Ana Ramos, Mexico sealed Chile’s fate and advanced confidently.
Chilean coach Alejandro Araya expressed his frustration after the final whistle:
“We are deeply disappointed with today’s result. Mexico was a very strong opponent, and we struggled to impose our rhythm. Still, this tournament is an invaluable learning experience for our players.”
Despite the scoreline, Araya praised the commitment of his squad and emphasized the long-term value of their participation:
“They gave their all. Beyond the result, experiences like this will only make them stronger and better prepared for the future.”
With this loss, Chile finished bottom of its group, relying on other results that ultimately did not favor them. The U20 squad leaves the World Cup with a bitter taste but with a clear focus on strengthening youth football development.
Conclusion & Next Steps
After the elimination, the Chilean Football Federation plans to continue strengthening its youth programs, preparing for upcoming South American qualifiers. Many of these players are expected to become part of the senior national team in the years ahead.
