La Roja Femenina are ranked 41 by FIFA and have a new coach in Luis Mena taking the team for just the second time.
A technical team, largely built from powerhouse local club Colo-Colo with the addition of a few star players based in Europe, the Chileans should offer a real test, especially with home advantage at Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida.
Likely Team: Klimková confirmed at the pre-match press conference that because of a number of the squad being in preseason, it is likely that certain players would have their playing minutes limited, meaning that the substitutes could play a significant role on Sunday.
Opposition Player to Watch: Christiane Endler Having a new head coach makes it difficult to predict a starting line-up, but there is no doubt that the first name on the team sheet is Champions League-winning Lyon goalkeeper, and Chile captain, Christiane Endler.
98-cap Endler is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world so finding a way past her will be the biggest challenge for the Ferns on Sunday.
The Ford Football Ferns play their first game since the #FIFAWWC tomorrow morning vs Chile in Santiago 🇳🇿🇨🇱
