The Five Cups

One of the nicknames that Antonio Carbajal received during his career was “El Cinco Copas”. This is a Spanish phrase that translates as the “Five Cups”. The reason why he was given that nickname was because during his professional career he played on five different editions of the FIFA World Cup. Don’t forget to make virtual sports betting on 1xbet.co.ke/virtualsports, which can reward you just as greatly as with football bets.

The goalkeeper played in all FIFA World Cup editions between 1950 and 1966. In the 1962 tournament he was crucial in helping Mexico to claim their first victory ever in a tournament of this kind. This achievement came in a match against Czechoslovakia. You can perform virtual sports betting and football wagers on 1xBet too, where a wide range of excellent competitions is always available.

In total the Mexican keeper played 48 matches for the national team between 1950 and 1966. In the latter year, Carbajal set an incredible record, as he played in his fifth FIFA World Cup as a professional footballer. This record would be tied 32 years later by Lothar Matthäus.
