Arturo Angeles is a 49-Ycar-old civil Engineer from Temple City Calif., who is the Only . Referee among the 48 referees Ana linesmen selected to officiate the 52 world cup matches. For Angeles who was born in Mexico City and works for the los Angeles department of water and Power it is an Honor Many believe is Well deserved. He did not go far As a player appearing As a goalkeeper for us where he earned his engineering degree and for a dub team Adonai in the local Abraham Lincoln soccer league. As a referee however he has gone All the Way to the top. Angeles began refereeing games in 1973, gradually working his Way up through the youth High Sci tool and College ranks in Southern California until he had earned a reputation As an honest official who knew the rules and applied them fairly. In 1990, after the world cup in Italy he we s one of 80 referees from around the world who were placed on a list by fifa world soccer s governing body and monitored regularly in top class Competition. The list was pared to 30 names and then after a rigorous series of physical and written tests in Dallas last March to the 24 referees who will be in charge during world cup �?T94. For a referee it is the highest Honor attainable. A efm very very Happy about being chosen Quot Angeles said. A that s every referees dream. I feel a great responsibility. I need to work hard and train hard to be ready. In a very excited about living in a country where soccer is not As appreciated As elsewhere a and is therefore not As Well covered by the Media a Angeles has gone out of his Way to make sure he keeps up on the International game. A i read la opinion and 1 buy newspapers from Mexico Quot he said. A and then of course i Nave a satellite dish. The Only reason i bought it was so i can see soccer games.
