Alberto Fernández

After the war Alberto Fernández had a prolific basketball career for both Atlético Bilis and the Peruvian national team, representing each for more than a decade. In 1947 he was part of the team that finished sixth at the South American Championships. One year later he was selected to travel to London for the Olympics, where he played in eight matches and was the leading scorer for Peru in the tournament with 63 points. Back home he was a regular at the South American Championships, with the team finishing fourth in 1949, along with back-to-back fifth-place finishes in 1953 and 1955. Fernández was also part of the national team that placed seventh at the 1950 World Men Basketball Championships in Buenos Aires.
