No, Uzbekistan is not a member of the EU, nor is it under consideration for EU membership at any future time.
The Euro 2008 complement is based on UEFA membership (the governing body of European football), of which Turkey is a member, rather than EU membership. Membership with UEFA is independent of affiliation with the EU. 25% of the 16 teams who advanced to the Euro 2008 finals were not from EU member states: they are Turkey, Switzerland, Russia, and Croatia. Turkey and Croatia have made applications for EU membership, Switzerland and Russia have not.
The EU is the European Union and is confined only to Europe. Chile is in South America. Therefore, Chile can never apply for EU membership.
