As a proud former member of the Puerto Rico National Soccer Team (13 yrs.), Joseph Marc Serralta Ives amassed over 50 caps and had the distinction of holding the Career Scoring Record for the National Soccer Team until recent years. He participated in one World Cup elimination phase, two Junior World Cup elimination phases as well as many international tournaments around the world.
Joseph Marc Serralta Ives’ professional level career began in 1979, under an amateur contract status at the tender age of 15 in his native Puerto Rico with El Remanso F.C. That year, El Remanso F.C. was crowned Champions of La Liga Superior and he earned the Rookie of the Year Award of the League and the Top Scorer Award for his team, scoring an unprecedented 22 goals in 20 games. His career as a professional soccer player includes teams such as the Puerto Rico Islanders F.C. (USL-1995), Charlotte Eagles (USISL-1994), Tacoma Stars (1986), Sports Life (1986)), Houston Dynamos (USL-1984) and a short stint with Union Popular Langreo in Spain (1993)
Serralta Ives was inducted into the Puerto Rico Soccer Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Houston Baptist University Hall of Fame in 2012. For the past 25 years, he has made substantial efforts towards the development of professional and amateur soccer not only in Puerto Rico, but also in the United States. His previous companies Nijovi Sports Group, Inc. and Only Soccer, Inc. have been working in the sports marketing and advertising arenas for the past 18 years with the objective of creating a bridge in sports between the new and old worlds.
"The Puerto Rico Soccer League developed the roadmap to the 2026 World Cup counting on two primary needs; first class infrastructure and a first class operated League. LigaPro accomplishes that".
Ibrahim Reyes is the product of the golden age of Puerto Rican soccer. He played at El Remanso F.C. since its inception in the early 1970’s until his departure to the U.S. to play and study. Coach Joe Serralta, father of Joey Serralta, coached Ibrahim at both El Remanso F.C. and American Military Academy, two championship teams, leaving him marked for life with the marching orders to “get up and fight” and “get down and serve.”
Ibrahim leads a boutique commercial litigation law firm based in Miami, and sports and charitable organizations in Puerto Rico, Miami, and Brazil. He is an experienced international business lawyer (University of Florida, B.S. Microbiology, 1986); University of Miami School of Law, J.D., 2000) and business leader with a demonstrated history of accomplishments as a trial lawyer handling complex litigation trials in state and federal courts, Multi District Litigation and class actions, arguing evidentiary hearings on forum non conveniens and similar jurisdiction disputes and comparative law arguments.
Ibrahim has argued in state, federal and appellate courts in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Before, Ibrahim operated American Linens and Monaco Furniture, family-owned and operated furniture and linens stores in the U.S., with manufacturing in Honduras, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
As Signatory Member of the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Framework through the PRSL since October 2019, Ibrahim works towards climate change control through resilient and sustainable sports infrastructure – PRSLSafeStadiums™, that convert from sports venue to community shelter.
As Chairman and General Counsel at Basalt Technologies, a composite materials company based in Puerto Rico that designs and manufactures non-rusting building and construction materials, they are transforming the island into the “showroom to the world” of how to build resiliently and sustainably to survive Category 5 hurricanes and earthquakes while creating socioeconomic impact that is measurable and permanent.
"Puerto Rico’s football prospect has been in decline for many years. The island’s lack of first-class football infrastructure accompanied by first-class professional management at the top is the direct cause of this vacuum. Our team of professionals is ready, willing and able to change that. We are building the foundation – literally – that will allow Puerto Rico’s footballers to be known as mundialistas starting in 2026.”
