Santiago Wanderers

Club de Deportes Santiago Wanderers is a football club in Valparaiso, Chilean Football Federation, after being relegated from the Campeonato Nacional at the end of the 2017 Transicion tournament. Their home ground, Estadio Elias Figueroa Brander, is in the north-west of the city. Wanderers have played their games there since 1931 after moving from Barrio Puerto.

The club's home colours are green shirts and socks with white shorts, which are based on the colors of the Irish Football Association team.

After this period, having joined the professional football association in 1944, the club has won three further league titles in 1958, 1968, and 2001.

Wanderers have produced important players in Chilean football history like Elias Figueroa, who is considered the best Chilean footballer of all time, as well as one of the g
