MEET OUR TEAM

Luis Vaca-Soto

Executive Director

Luis has played soccer his whole life, from the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, to the fields outside of Washington, D.C. where he grew up. He’s a passionate supporter of Boca Juniors in Argentina and remains an ardent supporter of D.C. United in the United States (though he’s got room in his heart for the Sounders)

Over the last several years he has worked for non-profits in various roles, and has focused on increasing the representation of often neglected communities in the non-profit space. As an avid traveler, Luis understands the importance of bringing diverse communities together to expand the knowledge, cultural understanding, and bring new perspectives to an organization.

Luis hopes to create a strong sense of community around the GSSL, one where the GSSL is more than just a place to play the beautiful game, but also a place where its members can come together to share in a common passion at events throughout the year.

Feel free to reach out to Luis with any questions or comments. Luis speaks English, Spanish, and German.

Luis ha jugado fútbol toda su vida, desde las calles de Buenos Aires, Argentina, hasta las canchas de Washington, D.C. donde se ha criado. Él es un hincha de Boca Juniors en Argentina y de D.C. United en los Estados Unidos. (No obstante, él está seguro de que puede guardar un poco de espacio en su corazón para los Sounders).

En los últimos años, Luis ha trabajado para varias organizaciones sin fines de lucro, y también ha trabajado en mejorar la representación de comunidades descuidadas en estas organizaciones.

Luis viaja mucho y él conoce bien la importancia de tener una comunidad diversa en una organización para poder ampliar el conocimiento, la comprensión cultural, tener perspectivas y opiniones variadas.

Él desearía crear un fuerte sentimiento de comunidad en la GSSL donde sus miembros puedan compartir su pasión por el juego más bonito que existe, el fútbol y donde puedan participar en muchos eventos durante el año.

Si tienen preguntas o comentarios, pueden mandar un email. Luis habla inglés, español, y alemán.
