Personal life

On November 2016, after being nominated to the U-17 national team, Campos 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.[4] In the series, Campos regrets that chileans discriminate him due to mistaking him as a naturalized person, despite being born at the country.[5]

Sometimes, people discriminate someone without knowledge. They don't know that I'm chilean and I'm not naturalised, and there's nothing wrong with naturalization. Honestly, I don't feel myself different. Maybe I haven't 100% of chilean blood, but I was born here and I'll give my life for this colors.
