Player career
society
The "Trapo" called Washington Olivera was born on May 7, 1953 in the Barrio Maroñas of the Uruguayan capital Montevideo and grew up in Cerrito de la Victoria . In the youth teams he played for Nacional Montevideo . In 1970 he was with the Bolsos in the Quinta División, for example, alongside Gerardo Pelusso , Heber Revetria , Braulio Castro , Eduardo Pereyra and Daniel González (†). At Nacional, he also began his professional football career when he made his debut in the Primera División after the club initiated an internal team upheaval after the 1971 season by selling out players. According to his own statement, he was already a member of the squad that became Uruguayan champions in 1971. During this time, Olivera had a job in addition to soccer. In 1972, the left winger moved to the Montevideo Wanderers . The decisive role in this change, which initially took place on loan for a year, was played by Omar Borrás . With the Wanderers he achieved a decisive goal scored by him in January 1975, which is often seen as one of the most important goals in club history, through the Liguilla Pre-Libertadores as the first "small" Uruguayan club beyond the two major clubs Nacional and Peñarol and for the first time in the club's history, the Copa Libertadores . He remained loyal to the Wanderers until 1977. That year he went abroad for the first time. In Mexico he joined Puebla FC for two years . In 1979 he was signed by Club Atlético Peñarol . The attacker spent a year at Peñarol and won the Uruguayan football championship with the club. After his contract with the Aurinegros expired, he said he traveled to Colombia to join América de Cali . Due to a chance encounter on the plane to Colombia with a building contractor based in Chile , his path did not lead to the club from Cali, but to Rancagua in Chile . In 1980 he played there under coach Francisco Molina at O'Higgins FC . Before he moved to the up-and-coming Chilean club CD Cobreloa in 1981 , he was still in 1980 with the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the USA until 1981. There he made his debut on July 16, 1980 against the San José Earthquakes , when he was substituted on in the middle of the second half and scored the goal to the 3-0 final shortly before the end. For the Tampa Bay Rowdies, he completed six games (two goals) in 1980 and 22 games (two goals) in 1981 in the NASL . In addition, he made 14 appearances (twelve goals) in the indoor competition in the 1980/81 season, followed by another goalless assignment in 1981/82 in that competition.
Washington Olivera had three extremely successful years with Cobreloa from 1981 onwards. In the Copa Libertadores 1981 , the team of the Argentine coach Vicente Cantatore made it to the final, where the Brazilian star ensemble from Flamengo Rio de Janeiro was waiting. After a 1: 2 and 1: 0 home and away game, a playoff was necessary to determine the winner. Here Flamengo prevailed 2-0 with two goals from Zico and brought the Copa Libertadores to Brazil . In the following year, Cobreloa sensationally again qualified for the final in the Copa Libertadores. This time the Washington final was waiting for Olivera's old club Peñarol Montevideo. After a goalless draw in Montevideo, the team around players like Óscar Wirth , Enzo Escobar or Juan Carlos Letelier then lost in the second leg at home with a late goal from Fernando Morena one minute before the end with 0: 1 and thus again missed winning the most important Football competition for club teams in South America . In the same year Olivera was then champion in national football for the first time with Cobreloa, which was the club's second title ever. In the Primera División , the first place was occupied with a lead of four points on CSD Colo-Colo . In 1983 he was runner-up with the team. In that season he secured the title of top scorer in Chile. He then played in 1984 in Chile for Everton . There he scored five goals that year.
In 1983 he is said to have played again at Nacional Montevideo . The Bolsos were Uruguayan champions that season. In 1984 a station was held at Club Atlético Progreso in Montevideo.
In 1985 he returned to Chile and ran for Provincial Osorno . That year the team advanced to the sensation team of the Chilean championship season thanks to Olivera, who was the most successful goal scorer and became a club idol. More than 10,000 spectators per game attended the club's matches that year. He then played for Racing Club Avellaneda in Argentina from 1986 to 1987 . A career station at Deportivo Toluca followed . With the Mexicans he won the Copa México in 1988/89 . In the middle of the 1990/91 season he joined the team from UAT Correcaminos , which was trained by Ignacio Jáuregui , but did not convince and only hit the opposing goal once. CD Luis Ángel Firpo in El Salvador was the last stations in Washington Olivera's career until 1991. With Luis Ángel Firpo he won the football championship of El Salvador in the 1990/91 season. In 1991 Olivera ended his career as a football player at the age of 37.
National team
Olivera was also a member of the Uruguayan national team . There he made his debut on February 25, 1976. In total, he completed ten internationals for the Celeste until his last appearance on August 30, 1979. He scored an international goal.
