He was selected to referee 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. On September 6, 2013, after officiating the 2–1 victory for Uruguay over Peru in a qualifier at the Estadio Nacional of Perú, he had to be escorted out of the stadium due to angry Peruvian fans, who were upset over controversial calls in the match.[2] Peruvian press claimed he was following CONMEBOL instructions, especially from the newly appointed CONMEBOL President Eugenio Figueredo, who is a Uruguayan national.
Loustau was selected as one of the referees for Copa America Centenario where he officiated the Paraguay vs. Costa Rica Group A match in Orlando, Florida.
On January 30, 2021, he whistled the final of the Copa Libertadores, between Palmeiras and Santos.[3][4]
