You would think that the u-17 World Cup in Chile may be in doubt post-earthquake with some of the host cities badly affected.
The quake was centred off one host city Coquimbo, and also in the earthquake and tsunami zone and badly damaged were host cities La Serena and Vina del Mar. These towns were hit by 15 foot waves with boats now resting on streets in Coquimbo.

There's a state of emergency in place in cities like Coquimbo with the military securing the area and one million people evacuated.
Things are looking pretty bad in Coquimbo in this aerial footage taken after the tsunami:

Five of the seven host cities are coastal, three directly in the earthquake and tsunami zone.
Even if the stadia in these cities turn out to remain undamaged, other issues such as accommodation, transport, strain on limited resources, emergency laws, evacuations etc. could make it impossible for games to go ahead.
Similar to Christchurch post February 2011 when most scheduled public events were cancelled.
NZ is playing its games in the southern-most venue of Puerto Montt which, although coastal, is a long way (more than 1000 km) from the earthquake epicentre near Coquimbo.
However, the threat there is from a nearby major volcano which began erupting in April after being quiet for 43 years:

Details on Puerto Montt, which Wiki specifically compares in climate to Wellington, NZ funnily enough (almost the same latitude): "wet oceanic climate" and cooler than the rest of Chile:

Largely a population of Indian and German descent. One of the poorest regions in Chile.
Famous in Chilean history for the massacre by the police on government orders in 1969 of impoverished squatters who were occupying unused land near the city. An incident that contributed to the defeat of the right-wing government and the election of Allende's socialists in 1970. Immortalized in a song by Chile's Bob Dylan, Victor Jara, who was himself tortured and murdered in the National Stadium by Pinochet's thugs in 1973. Jara in turn was immortalized by the Clash in the great "Sandinista" album track "Washington Bullets".
There are a number of Kiwis working there in the salmon farming industry who have expressed excitement online about attending NZ u-17's games.
