Ulises Saucedo
Encyclopedia
Ulises Saucedo was a Bolivian football coach and referee. He coached the Bolivian national team during the first
FIFA World Cup
in Uruguay
in 1930, and also acted as a referee during the tournament.
Of all the refereeing appointments the two that attracted most attention was that of Gilberto de Almeida Rêgo
in the match between Argentina
and France
, in which the Brazilian referee blew up six minutes early, and Saucedo's in the Argentina and Mexico
encounter, which Argentina won 6–3. During the game Saucedo awarded three penalties.
His involvement as coach was less notable, Bolivia losing both matches 4–0 to Yugoslavia and Brazil, the second of which saw both sides wearing exactly the same strip, only for Bolivia to change during a first-half stoppage.
