Norio Matsubara

Norio Matsubara has an extensive and impressive career as an entrepreneur. He spent a number of years as a racing driver in Brazil before retiring from that industry and picking back up an earlier life interest — the soccer industry. Norio grew up on a cotton plantation in Brazil in a soccer family; their employees would often play soccer and, when they started winning division championships, his father purchased the team and founded Sociedade Esportiva Matsubara, a Brazilian soccer club.
