Víctor Hugo Antelo, nicknamed "Tucho" (born November 2, 1964 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra) is a retired Bolivian football striker, and the all time topscorer in the Bolivian League with 350 goals scored in 18 seasons. [ [http://www.rsssf.com/tablesb/boltops.html rsssf: Bolivian league topscorers] ]

He began playing for amateur club Universidad. In 1983 he signed for Oriente Petrolero at age 18. During his professional career he also played for Blooming, Real Santa Cruz, Bolivar, The Strongest, and San José. Even though he played 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. Also, between May 17 and September 6 of 1998, he scored 18 goals in 12 consecutive matches, breaking the record of most straight games scoring, previously set by Juan Carlos Sánchez, who coincidentally comes second behind Antelo in the list of all time topscorers. In addition, he scored a total of 21 goals in 46 Copa Libertadores games. [ [http://www.rsssf.com/players/players-in-copalib.html rsssf: Copa Libertadores statistics] ]

In spite of proving his natural talent as a top class scorer, Antelo was rarely considered by Bolivian national football team managers throughout his career. He only had 11 appearances for Bolivia netting 2 goals.

After retiring as a player in 2001, "Tucho" began a coching career. That same year, he took charge of Oriente Petrolero and had a successful season, helping the club obtain its third national championship. Currently he is back with the "albiverdes".
