Chilean soccer is starting to warm up and the teams are beginning to adjust the details of what will be a demanding season, in which, in addition to the local league, they will have to face the domestic cup and in some cases, the most important trophies in the continent.
Audax Italiano is one of those teams that will be facing a schedule that will go from strength to strength. Their first challenge will be the domestic league on the weekend of January 22, while waiting for the big challenge in March, the Copa Sudamericana.
The team from La Florida, which had a good 2022, is making some very important additions to face the season, and in this report presented by JefeBet we bring you all the information to be aware of what awaits Audax Italiano for the 2023 season in the Chilean league.
Founded in 1910, it has won four national titles in 1936, 1946, 1948 and 1957. Of course, it’s been a long time since their last celebration, but they are getting ready to fight once again for important things.

Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for Alianza Lima for the 2023 Chilean Primera Division Season
Audax Italiano will debut in the Chilean Championship on Saturday, January 21, visiting Palestino. On the way to that debut, it is putting together a squad with some important names. For the new project, they opted for a young coach with modern ideas, such as the Argentine Manuel Fernández.
But undoubtedly, the great expectation is the incorporation of midfielder Marcelo Díaz, a true glory of Chilean Soccer. At the age of 36 and after having played for Libertad de Paraguay in 2022, El Chelo, two-time champion of America with the red national team, returns to Chilean soccer after 12 years and very successful experiences in Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Mexico and Argentina.
Marco Collao (from Antofagasta), Gonzalo Ríos (from Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero, Argentina) and Gonzalo Sosa, a tremendous striker from Mexican soccer are some of the new players incorporated during the transfer window.
Audax Italiano in the 2022 Season
Audax Italiano just barely made it into the continental tournament zone thanks to its seventh place finish in the Chilean Championship during 2022. In this way, they earned the opportunity to play in the first phase of the Copa Sudamericana, in which they will meet Universidad Católica on March 7.
In 2022, Audax had a good tournament, winning 12, drawing 9 and losing 9, scoring 44 goals and conceding 42. Perhaps their main weakness was their lack of efficiency at home, since at the Bicentenario de La Florida stadium, they won only 6 of the 15 matches they played.
Their goalscorer was the Argentine Lautaro Palacios, who unfortunately emigrated during the middle of 2022 season to Saudi Arabian soccer, being a loss that they could not replace for the rest of the season. He was followed by Michael Fuentes, with 6 goals, and Fernando Cornejo and Paraguay’s Luis Riveros, with 5.
