History

The Chile men's national volleyball team has a long history of participation in international competitions. They first competed in the Men's South American Volleyball Championship in 1956, and in 1961, they won a silver medal, which remains their best performance in this event. They have also participated in two FIVB Volleyball Men's World Cup, debuting in 1982 and achieving their best finish at 23rd place. Chile made its sole World Cup appearance in 1991, finishing 12th. The team has had several notable results in regional tournaments, including multiple bronze medals at the South American Championship, with recent success in 2019 and 2021.

Despite not being a global powerhouse, Chile has consistently been a strong competitor in South America. They have earned several podium finishes in the South American Championship, with bronze medals in 1967, 1981, 1983, 1993, 2019, and 2021. The team's steady performances demonstrate their competitive level within the continent.

The team has shown resilience at the Pan American Games, achieving fourth place in both 1963 and 2019. They have consistently participated in the Pan American Games, with their most recent appearance in 2023, continuing their tradition of competitive play in the Americas.

Chile also had a notable appearance in the Challenger Cup, participating five times between 2018 and 2024, with their best result coming in 2023 when they finished fourth.
