Jose and Paco Alvarez oral history interview, 2025 April 08
Oral history interview with Jose and Paco Alvarez conducted by Stefani Evans and Claytee D. White on April 8, 2025 for the Game On! An Oral History of Las Vegas Sports project. In this interview, Jose begins the interview by discussing discrimination throughout the United States, both past and present. He then talks about growing up and playing soccer in Argentina, and eventually playing in the United States on the west coast. He notes that there were many soccer teams in the West that were primarily Latino, but they did not receive the same respect as white teams. Despite the roadblocks, Jose began coaching and created a team culture based on respect. He later worked as a referee, but despite his many years of hard work and dedication to the sport in Las Vegas, he does not feel he was as successful as others. He eventually retired, but still loves soccer and has even helped children in his hometown in Argentina to get involved with their community and with soccer.
