France-Chile will be only the 6th clash in history between France and Chile. It will be the first since another friendly match on August 10, 2011 in Montpellier (1-1).
The Blues only played once against Chile in an official competition: during the 1930 World Cup, the very first. Chile is 42nd in the FIFA rankings, its worst position since 2008. Four centenarians who still wear the red tunic of Chile: Eduardo Vargas (106 caps), Mauricio Isla (132), Claudio Bravo (145) and Alexis Sanchez (160)
