His period in the ACF is regarded for the qualification of Chile to the 1974 FIFA World Cup[5] and for the political problems amid the 1973 coup d'état led by general Augusto Pinochet.[6] Similarly, according to the journalist Daniel Matamala, Fluxá was a fierce supporter of president Eduardo Frei Montalva (1964−1970) and his party, the Christian Democracy.[7]
