With the Celeste he took part in the 1962 World Cup. There he was used in all three group matches . In the encounter against the Soviet selection he broke his fibula in the first half, but refused to be taken to hospital. As a result, he was nevertheless able to be operated on successfully. Since there were no changes at the time, he continued to play standing as the left attacker until the final whistle. At the 1966 World Cup he was also in the Uruguayan squad . However, he did not play a game there.
