Social perceptions of the Chilean National Soccer Team as a brand

Abstract

The sporting successes achieved by the Chilean National Soccer Team in 2015 and 2016 allow us to distinguish the changes in the perceptions of Chileans regarding La Roja. Based on the consideration of this team as a brand, it was concluded that it has a high symbolic degree in terms of a unifying element of Chilean society, which is considered fragmented. For this study, 2,410 face to face surveys were conducted in Santiago de Chile with people between 10 and 80 years of age, which were segmented based on the socioeconomic groups of the country.
