Luis Monti

Luis Monti was born in 1901 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is well-known for boasting the distinction of having played in two FIFA World Cup final matches with two different national teams.

He first featured for the Argentine national team in 1924, playing a crucial part in inspiring them to the Uruguay 1930 final. Nevertheless, La Albiceleste finished runners-up as they were defeated by the hosts.

Monti won 16 caps for Argentina from 1924 to 1931 with 5 goals before switching to Italian national team.

Widely known as “Doble Ancho” (Double Wide), Monti signed for the Italian club Juventus in 1931, where he helped them in achieving four successive league titles.

He was called up to the Italian national team in 1932. In 1934, he won the FIFA World Cup with Azzurri, making him the first and only player, to date, to compete in two World Cup Finals for different nations.
