In Chile do they play soccer?

Answer 1

This is not a proven fact, just my general opinion. In the US, the main sports are football and Basketball. Soccer is more of a side sport instead of one of the main ones. In other countries, soccer is the main sport. In Europe soccer generally speaking, is a huge sport. In South America, it is almost the same way. People play soccer because it is a cheap sport to play. There is no reason to have a multi-million dollar stadium because the village kids can play it on the street or somewhere playable.

Answer 2

The game's true name is, "association football". In formal circles that is how it is referenced.

However, in various countries around the world it is called, 'soccer'. This is the case in regions where other football codes are the more locally popular code - especially in countries which have formed their own brands - such as US and Canada, where they use the term exclusively for American/Canadian football. In Australia, Australian football is called football; therefore association football gets called, 'soccer' there. It is also called soccer in Ireland, New Zealand, parts of Africa, etc.

Answer 3

It's called football because it's played with your foot on a ball.
