History

The team has had a remarkable performance throughout its history, especially in the South American context. Its success dates back to the 1940s, when they began to establish themselves as one of the dominant forces in the region. At the 1946 South American Championship, they achieved their first title, beginning an era of success that extended into the 1960s.

During this golden period, Chile won a total of four South American titles (1946, 1950, 1956 and 1960). These triumphs positioned the Chilean team as one of the strongest in FIBA Americas, competing on equal terms with powerhouses such as Brazil and Argentina. In addition, they achieved several runner-up and third-place finishes, demonstrating their consistency at the high regional level.

However, from the 1970s onwards, the team's performance began to decline. Although they continued to participate in international competitions, the team was unable to maintain the same level of success that it had achieved in previous decades. Changes in the development of the sport in the region and the rise of other South American teams affected their dominance.

In recent decades, the team has had outstanding performances, although not at the level of its golden era. They have managed to place third in several editions of the South American Championship, especially in 1993, 1995 and 2001. In addition, they have participated in tournaments such as the FIBA AmeriCup, although without reaching the podium.
