Huenteo represented Chile at the 2012 South American U-20 Women's Championship.
Huenteo is of Mapuche descent.[4]
In November 2016, Huenteo starred in Somos Chile (We are Chile), a web series created by the ANFP which reflects the process of multiculturalism that Chile has been going through that decade, in hopes to combat forms of discrimination such as racism and xenophobia.[5] In the series, Huenteo declared herself proud of her mapuche heritage, but at the same time felt ashamed when receiving racist chants by some supporters.[6]
There's no differences between my teammates, because we're all equal. Inside football, that doesn't happen. But it does happen outside, in some people that scream and make you feel different, and I felt ashamed because of that.
