Víctor Hugo Antelo Bárba (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. He is the current manager of Bolivian first division club Guabirá.
In 2000, Antelo was named the world's active most prolific top division goalscorer with 343 goals in 429 league games.
Nicknamed Tucho, he began playing for amateur club Universidad. In 1983, he jumped to professional football when 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. 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, 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.
Despite proving his natural talent as a topscorer, Antelo was rarely considered by Bolivian 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.
