Career edit
Falco was born in Montevideo on 25 September 1893, although some sources claim Falco was born in 1888.
On 4 October 1908, Falco made his debut for Uruguay at the age of 15, playing in a 1–0 win against Argentina.[1] In 1911, Falco retired from football, owing to a problem with his meniscus.[2]
In 1937, Falco was named president of Nacional. On 14 June 1937, under Falco's presidency, Nacional purchased Estadio Gran Parque Central for $150,000.[3]
