Francisco Domingo Abal Guerault (24 June 1951 – 13 October 1972) was a Uruguayan rugby player. He was part of the Old Christians Club and was considered one of the best rugby players in his country. In 1970 he was part of the Uruguayan rugby team. Part of his life and the tragedy experienced during the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 is featured in the film Society of the Snow. Abal is played by Argentine actor Jerónimo Bosia. In Miracle in the Andes, the book by his childhood friend Fernando Nando Parrado, Abal is described as a good-looking young man from a family with good social and economic status. He had earned, by the time he was 15, like Parrado, a place in the Stella Maris First XV, the starting line-up of the Old Christians rugby team. He graduated from Stella Maris School. The Abal family owned a cigarette factory where Francisco had started working. He was also a shareholder of Abal Hnos.
