Luis Arturo Ponce Ortiz (6 June 1910 – 10 November 1974) was a Chilean footballer. He played in eight matches for the Chile national football team from 1937 to 1939.[1] He was also part of Chile's squad for the 1937 South American Championship.[2]

Career

Ponce joined Magallanes in 1933 from Liverpool Wanderers, winning the Chilean Primera División in 1933, 1934, 1935 and 1938. Despite spending over two years with no playing due to an act of indiscipline, he joined Unión Española in 1943, winning the league title.[3][4]

Ponce ended his career as player/manager of Iberia, then based in Santiago, winning the División de Ascenso de Chile in 1945.[3]
