Career

Oscar Calics began his active career at CA Banfield in the suburb of the same name in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, where he was born in 1939. At the age of 19, he made his first game on the Banfield professional team in 1958. The first five years of his career he and CA Banfield played in the Argentine second division, before moving up to the Primera División in 1963 , in which the club was able to establish itself long-term. After the rise, Calics, who was acting in the position of a defender, played for CA Banfield for two years before he left the club and joined CA San Lorenzo de Almagro from the Bonaren suburb of Almagro . In 1968 Calics won his first Argentine championship with San Lorenzo de Almagro. The Metropolitano competition in the Primera División was won by a 2-1 final victory against Estudiantes de La Plata . This was the only title win for Calics with San Lorenzo and he moved in 1970 after 113 league games to Colombia to Atlético Nacional from Medellín . Between 1971 and 1973 he played with Atlético Nacional always at the top of the first division of Colombia and in 1973 won the Colombian football championship in the last year of his activity with the club. He then went to CA Lanús for a year and ended his football career in 1974 at the age of 35.

Oscar Calics played six international matches for the Argentina national football team during his career . These missions took place in 1966 and 1967. Argentina coach Juan Carlos Lorenzo called him into the South American squad for the 1966 World Cup in England . At the tournament he was used in one game in the defense of Argentina, namely in the 2-0 victory in the last group game against Switzerland , which allowed Argentina to move into the quarter-finals for the first time in 36 years. Calics was only in the starting line-up in this game, however, as José Albrecht , who actually played in Calic's position, had received a dismissal in the previous game against Germany (0-0) and was therefore suspended.
