Arturo Vidal believes Chile can "achieve something important" when they host next year's Copa America.
Having
impressed many in reaching the last 16 at the World Cup earlier this
year, Jorge Sampaoli's men will be keen to maintain their momentum at
the 2015 event, which gets under way in June.
Chile, who have never previously won the Copa America, are unbeaten
in five friendly fixtures since being eliminated on penalties by the
hosts in Brazil, and Juventus midfielder Vidal has backed the national
team to enjoy a successful campaign.
"Let's hope we can win the Copa America because it would be something
special for the country," he said at the launch of Nike's Cachana
matchball for the tournament.
"I believe Chile needs to triumph and this is a great opportunity to achieve something important."
Chile face Uruguay in a friendly on Tuesday.
