Between 1990 and 2002, Soria capped for the Bolivia national team in 23 games. He was part of the squad in Copa America 1991, Copa America 1995 and Copa America 1997 when Bolivia finished as runners-up.

Managerial career

His debut as a manager occurred in July 2006, and it could not have been any better as Wilstermann won the 2006 Segundo Torneo league championship on December 3 of that year under his lead. During 2007 while managing Real Potosí, Soria won his second league title as he secured the 2007-Apertura for the lilas. He also had a short spell with the Bolivia national team as the manager participating in Copa America 2015 held in Chile. He was waived by the Bolivian Football Federation at the conclusion of the tournament and appointed Julio César Baldivieso in his place.

gollark: Can't be bothered.
gollark: Not that I'd have much idea regarding making an improvement, but they emulate ancient CPUs in order to run C and C-style code, and are slow/buggy/exploitable because of it.
gollark: Modern CPUs are kind of awful anyway.
gollark: Good idea.
gollark: Still, open-sourcing a few things is a start.
