Ladislao Mazurkiewicz

Mazurkiewicz helped the Uruguay national team qualify for the semifinals of the 1970 World Cup, where the charrúas were stopped by the eventual champion, Brazil. He was elected the best goalkeeper of that tournament. He also played for the Brazilian side Atlético Mineiro. During his international career (1965–74), he earned a total of 37 appearances with the national team of his native Uruguay. He coached Peñarol from 1988–89.

Ladislao Mazurkiewicz Iglesias was born on 14 February 1945 in Piriápolis and was raised in the Reducto neighbourhood of Montevideo. He was the fourth son and fifth child of Terenty Mazurkiewicz, a Polish-born man from Warsaw, and Josefa Iglesias Tubío, a native of Brión, Spain. His father emigrated to Uruguay shortly before the outbreak of World War II and eventually settled in the town of Cardal, in the Florida Department, where he worked as a rural laborer and met and married Iglesias, who had emigrated to Uruguay in the 1920s.
