César Augusto Obando Villeda, nicknamed El Nene, (born 26 October 1969) is a retired Honduran professional football player who is considered one of the best players ever in Honduras but a serious injury cut his career early.

The diminutive Obando played in the Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Honduras for F.C. Motagua, C.D. Victoria and Real C.D. España.[1] He also played abroad with Mexican outfit Correcaminos UAT, with fellow Honduran Eugenio Dolmo Flores at Peruvian side Universitario and in Costa Rica with Cartaginés.[2] At Cartaginés, he played alongside compatriots Arnold Cruz and Christian Santamaría but was released in February 2003.[3]

He played in the 1994 Copa Libertadores with Universitario, where the club were eliminated by Independiente Medellín in the knock-out stages.[4] In 1992, he was named World's Top Goal Scorer of the Year by the IFFHS.[5]

His last game as a professional player in the Honduran league was on 21 May 2002 with his team F.C. Motagua defeating C.D. Olimpia 2 - 1.[6] He is known for his powerful right footed shot. He scored 23 league goals for Motagua.[7]

International career

[edit]

Obando made his debut for Honduras in a May 1991 UNCAF Nations Cup match against Panama and has earned a total of 33 caps, scoring 15 goals. He has represented his country in 7 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[8] and played at the 1991 UNCAF Nations Cup.
