*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Víctor Hugo Antelo Bárba (born 2 November 1964) is a Bolivian

striker. He is the current manager of Oriente Petrolero
.

Antelo the all-time topscorer in the

Bolivian League with 350 goals scored in 18 seasons.[1] In 2000, he was named the world's active most prolific top division goalscorer with 343 goals in 429 league games.[2]

Club career

Nicknamed Tucho,

Bolivar, The Strongest, and San José. Although he spent most of his career in Bolivia, he made a short spell in Japanese football with Fujita Kogyo
in 1990.

Among his achievements, he has won the title of topscorer in the

Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano 7 times. Between May 17 and September 6 of 1998, he scored 18 goals in 12 consecutive matches, and therefore broke the record of most consecutive games finding the net,[2] previously set by Juan Carlos Sánchez, who coincidentally comes second behind Antelo in the list of all time topscorers. In addition, he has scored a total of 21 goals in 46 Copa Libertadores games.[3]

International career

Despite proving his natural talent as a topscorer, Antelo was rarely considered by Bolivia national team managers throughout his career and was overlooked for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. He only earned 11 caps for Bolivia netting 2 goals.
