Pedro Domingo Etchegoyen Aramburu (21 May 1894 – 1969[1]) was a Uruguayan footballer who played as a forward.

Early life and club career

Etchegoyen grew up in the Nuevo París neighbourhood of Montevideo, where he learned to play football at school.[2] While playing at Liverpool in Montevideo, he gained the nickname "Mingo".[2]

International career

Etchegoyen made one appearance for the Uruguay national team, in a 3–1 loss to Argentina on 22 January 1922.[3] He was also a member of their squads at both the 1923 South American Championship and the 1924 Summer Olympics, but played no matches in either.[2] His inclusion in the 1924 Summer Olympics squad was seen as controversial, as some people believed he was not good enough to play for Uruguay.[2]
