Soccer and Palestinian pride in Santiago, Chile
['Miquel Echarri']
EL PAÍS in English
They were born in a different Palestine: that of the diaspora in Santiago, Chile.
They are Chileans of Palestinian origin who don’t speak Arabic and have eaten more pastel de choclo than maqluba or musakhan.
Part of that second skin has to do with a century-old soccer team, Club Deportivo Palestino, which plays “on lease” at the municipal stadium in La Cisterna, south of Santiago.
Francisca was pursuing a postgraduate degree in audiovisual art in Amsterdam, and Andrés was pursuing a Master’s degree in film in Barcelona.
