🥅Changing in goal: La Roja begin mini-camp with 5️⃣ keepers | OneFootball

The Chilean National Team has launched a new evaluation process at the Juan Pinto Durán complex. Under the interim leadership of Nicolás Córdova, a microcycle focused on goalkeeping is taking place this Monday and Tuesday, a critical area following the retirement of historic figures and the search for solid alternatives ahead of the 2030 World Cup cycle.

Vicente Bernedo leads the way

The name drawing the most attention is Vicente Bernedo. At 25 years old, the current first-choice goalkeeper for Universidad Católica leads this list of five keepers despite having faced questions during the season. Within the national team coaching staff, there is a belief that the "Cruzado" has the potential needed to compete for a place in the squad overhaul, where Lawrence Vigouroux and Thomas Gillier currently have the edge.

Fresh blood and promotion bets

The call-up stands out for its diversity, bringing in Gonzalo Flores (Coquimbo Unido) and Jaime Vargas, who has enjoyed an outstanding campaign with Deportes Recoleta. Maximiliano Mateluna (Palestino) and José Alburquenque (Lota Schwager) were also added as invited players. These training sessions will be key in deciding who will join the delegation for the demanding July friendlies against Portugal and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
