Chile's footballers are refusing to play in next week's friendly against Peru due to the weeks-long crisis in their country, the football association (ANFP) said in a statement on Wednesday.
Chile were due to play neighbours Peru, who beat them in the Copa America semi-finals in Brazil in July, in a friendly in Lima on Tuesday.
The decision was taken following "a team meeting" on Wednesday morning at Chile's training centre on the outskirts of the capital, ANFP said.
