biography

International career

The goalkeeper was a member of the Mexican national soccer team and took part with it in the first soccer world championship in 1930 . There he was used in the games against France and Argentina. He conceded ten goals in these two games. He was also a member of the squad at the 1928 Summer Olympics , in which Mexico lost 7-1 to Spain in the round of 16.

Career in the club

Óscar Bonfiglio "El Yori" began his active playing career with the military team Cuenta y Administración , which had been brought into being by the head of the department of the same name, the football enthusiast Colonel Rafael M. Aguirre. With admission to the capital league, the team was given the new name Guerra y Marina, under which they participated in the league in the 1922/23 season. Because the league's statutes forbade naming a team after an official institution (in this case, the Ministry of War and the Navy ), the club had to change its name for the coming season. Because many of the founding members and players came from the Mexican states of Sonora and Sinaloa - Bonfiglio was also a native Sonorese - these formed the basis for the new name Son-Sin, under which the team competed in the capital league in the 1923/24 season. After the current General Aguirre had been ordered to Sonora, the team fell apart and Bonfiglio moved to CF Asturias . After General Aguirre's return to Mexico City , he filled the starving football team with new life. This was the hour of birth of Club Marte , which played in the capital league from the 1928/29 season. With Bonfiglio between the posts, the reactivated club won the championship straight away in 1929. One of the bitterest hours in Club Marte's history in every respect was the 3:10 defeat against Club América in the championship round of 1932/33 . However, what outweighed the result was much more serious than the injury Óscar Bonfiglio suffered in that game. He suffered a complicated broken leg that forced him to retire early from active footballing life.

Activities following the active career

After his playing career he went to Guadalajara , where he was initially entrusted with the post of President of the Liga de Fútbol de Jalisco . After a brief coaching position at CD Guadalajara , he took over the rebuilding of the Selección Jalisco in 1939 and led the Jalisco national team through the last three seasons of the Primera Fuerza . After the introduction of professional football, Bonfiglio returned to Mexico City and in 1944 took over an official post at CF Atlante , which he held until 1947. In 1948 he moved to Irapuato , where he took over the coaching position at CD Irapuato .
