Erwin Hieger started his refereeing career in Austria, where he led two matches of the Austrian National League in 1955 before he emigrated to South America where he became a professional referee from Peru. He took charge of matches at the 1968 Olympic Tournament as a Peruvian (FIFA) and the Copa America as an Austrian (CONMEBOL).

FIFA career

Hieger was listed by FIFA as a ref from Peru from 1959 until 1973. We didn't find Hieger as a FIFA ref for Austria, but the newspapers of that time did have him as an Austrian.

  • The 1957 South American Championships were officiated by non South Americans. One of them was Erwin Hieger. His last match there, Uruguay - Chile, ended even before the break when crowds entered the field.
  • Erwin Hieger was present at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden. He told a journalist how he witnessed a representative of one brand of boots (either Adidas or Puma) making a Brazilian player take off his boots and put on another brand.
  • There is a Hanny Hieger (neé Spiegl) who told her story on the Austrian radio of getting out of Austria after the Anschluss (or: Germans taking over the country) and moving to South America, marrying there and coming back to Vienna. Maybe Erwin Hieger was that person she married..
