Career

Club career

Adolfo Nef, born on January 18, 1946 in Lota , a port city in southern Chile , began playing football at Lota Schwager , a club located in the immediate vicinity of his hometown , where he was accepted into the first team in 1963. From then on, Nef played for Lota Schwager for two years before moving to Universidad de Chile in the capital of Chile for the 1965 season. At Universidad de Chile, Adolfo Nef experienced eight extremely successful seasons, in which the club won a total of three championships. In 1965, 1967 and 1969 one led the classification of the Primera División after the last match day, whereby the title win of 1969 should remain the last for the club until 1994. Adolfo Nef played at Universidad de Chile until 1972. The following year he joined the local rival CSD Colo-Colo for eight years , where Adolfo Nef experienced his most successful time as a football player.

At the national level there was only one championship in these eight years (1979), but on the international stage Colo-Colo was a lot more successful. As the first Chilean team ever, coach Luis Álamos' team reached the final of the Copa Libertadores , the most important competition for club teams in South America, in 1973 . There they were defeated by the then Argentine series winner Independiente Avellaneda 2-1 after extra time only in the playoff after it had been a draw on the return leg. Adolfo Nef was used in all three finals.

After eight years at Colo-Colo, the now 34-year-old Adolfo Nef changed clubs again and only went to Universidad Católica for one season and a little later to CD Magallanes for six years . In 1986 Nef - now 40 years old - had to go into the second division with his club after Magallanes had previously been one of the absolute regulars in the Primera División. A year after relegation, Adolfo Nef left the club and signed a contact with his home club Lota Schwager. There Adolfo Nef ended his football career in 1987 at the age of 41.

National team

Between 1969 and 1977 Adolfo Nef made a total of 42 appearances in the Chilean national football team . National coach Luis Álamos called him into the South American squad for the 1974 World Cup in Germany . Nef was not used as the third goalkeeper behind Leopoldo Vallejos and Juan Olivares .
