'''Rodolfo Antonio Zelaya García''' (born 3 July 1988),  also known as '''Fito Zelaya''' or '''Fito''', is a Salvadoran former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[second striker]]. In October 2013, Zelaya was banned from football for one year for his involvement in a [[match-fixing]] scandal with the [[El Salvador national football team|El Salvador national team]].<ref name="Zelaya Ban">{{cite web|title=22 suspended during fixing probe|url=http://www.espnfc.com/el-salvador/story/1530297/el-salvador-suspends-22-players-during-match-fixing-probe|website=www.espnfc.com|publisher=ESPN FC|access-date=22 September 2013|date=22 September 2013}}</ref>

==Club career==
===San Rafael===
Zelaya started his career playing for [[C.D. San Rafael Maracaná|San Rafael]] in 2004, where he played for one year. The following season, he moved to Atlético La Merced.

In July 2006, both Zelaya and Rúsvel Saravia were offered contracts to play for one of El Salvadors biggest clubs, [[C.D. Águila|Águila]]. Unfortunately for both Zelaya and Saravia, they could not come to terms with the club over their proposed salaries, and as a result, the transfer fell through.

===Intipucá===
Zelaya then moved on to play in [[Segunda División de Fútbol Salvadoreño|Segunda División]] with [[ADI F.C.|Intipucá]]. After 2 years with the club, Zelaya caught the attention of [[C.D. Chalatenango|Chalatenango]] coach [[Vladan Vićević]].

===Chalatenango===
After meeting with Vićević, Zelaya was offered, and accepted a contract to play with his first [[Salvadoran Primera División|Primera División]] club Chalatenango. Zelaya went on to impress in his [[Primera División de Fútbol Profesional Clausura 2008|first season]] with the club and grew a fan base with both spectators and reporters for being one of [[El Salvador]]'s most promising young strikers.

Chalatenango finished in fifth place in the league table with 25 points. Zelaya scored 8 goals at the end of the Clausura 2008.

===Alianza===
In 2008, Zelaya moved to [[Alianza F.C. (San Salvador)|Alianza]] after former Chalatenango president Lisandro Pohl switched clubs. This switch lead to Pohl taking various players with him to [[Alianza F.C. (San Salvador)|Alianza]] whose rights he supposedly owned due to them being bought when he was president at Chalatenango.

===Mexico===
On 15 June 2009, Zelaya was one of the three Salvadoran footballers signed to Mexican club [[Club León|León]] on a loan deal, the other two were [[Cristian Castillo]] and [[Julio Enrique Martínez]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=El Salvador.com|title=Martínez, Zelaya y Castillo, hacia México|url=http://www.elsalvador.com/mwedh/nota/nota_completa.asp?idCat=6429&idArt=3731696|access-date=15 June 2009}}</ref> On 3 December 2009, it was announced that [[Club León]] had permanently signed Zelaya along with the other two Salvadorans with a three-year contract.

On 12 December 2009, it was confirmed by Alianza's own president, Lisandro Pohl, that Zelaya would return to [[Alianza F.C. (San Salvador)|Alianza]] on a loan deal.<ref>{{cite web|title=Zelaya retorna al Alianza|url=http://archivo.elgrafico.com/index.php?art=29044|publisher=elgrafico.com|access-date=19 July 2011|language=es}}</ref> Zelaya later played without a loan deal and participated at the [[Primera División de Fútbol Profesional - Clausura 2011|Clausura 2011]], where he was top goalscorer with 13 goals to his part.

He also had the opportunity to reign champion and score 2 goals at the final to give his team the tournament.

===Russia===
[[File:Fito.png|thumb|right|175px|Zelaya in Alania Vladikavkaz in 2011]]
On 19 July 2011, Zelaya signed with  [[Russian First Division]] club [[FC Alania Vladikavkaz|Alania Vladikavkaz]] on a loan transfer for six months. Alania may be able to redeem his transfer by January 2012.<ref>{{cite web|script-title=ru:Родольфо Зелая стал игроком "Алании" (видео)|url=http://www.fc-alania.ru/press/news/rodolfo_zelaya_stal_igrokom_alanii|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722122336/http://www.fc-alania.ru/press/news/rodolfo_zelaya_stal_igrokom_alanii|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 July 2011|publisher=fc-alania.ru|access-date=19 July 2011|language=ru}}</ref>

On 9 August 2011, Zelaya debuted at the [[Football Championship of the National League|Russian league championship]] in a match against [[FC Torpedo Vladimir|Torpedo Vladimir]] as a starter. On 4 November, he scored two goals against [[Mordovia Saransk]], but also received a knee injury that would rule him out for 7 months.
<ref>{{cite web|script-title=ru:Протокол матча "Алания" — "Торпедо" Владимир: Россия, Первенство России, ФНЛ 2011, Тур 20 — 1:0|url=http://news.sportbox.ru/Vidy_sporta/Futbol/Russia/1st_division/stats/turnir_606/game_1298325589|publisher=Sportbox.ru|access-date=9 August 2011|language=ru}}</ref> 
During the summer of 2012, Alania decided not to keep him and sent him back to [[Alianza F.C. (El Salvador)|Alianza]].

On 26 January 2013, he once again signed a six-month loan to rejoin Alania Vladikavkaz, who had been promoted to the [[Russian Premier League|Russian Premiere League]].

(El Salvador)|Alianza]] in June after his contract expired.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elgrafico.com/2017/07/05/alianza-rechaza-una-oferta-de-catar-por-rodolfo-zelaya|title=Alianza rechaza una oferta de Catar por Rodolfo Zelaya|first=El|last=Gráfico}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elgrafico.com/2017/07/12/alianza-ya-inscribio-a-rodolfo-zelaya-para-el-apertura-2017|title=Alianza ya inscribió a Rodolfo Zelaya para el Apertura 2017|first=El|last=Gráfico}}</ref>

===Los Angeles FC===
On 30 January 2019, it was announced that Zelaya would join [[Major League Soccer]] club [[Los Angeles FC]]. In January 2020, the club announced that it and Zelaya had mutually agreed to part ways.<ref>{{cite web  |url=https://www.lafc.com/post/2020/01/07/lafc-and-forward-rodolfo-zelaya-mutually-agree-part-ways |website=LAFC.com|access-date=7 January 2020|title=LAFC And Forward Rodolfo Zelaya Mutually Agree To Part Ways |date=7 January 2020 }}</ref>

====Las Vegas Lights (loan)====

He will be leaving as Alianza F.C. all time goal scorer with 176 goals in 385 games, he holds the club record most goal in a final series with 32 goals, hold the club record most individual goalscoring titles with 5 and won 8 club titles. <ref>{{cite web |title=Rodolfo Zelaya anuncia su retiro del fútbol |url=https://www.elgrafico.com/primera/OFICIAL-Rodolfo-Fito-Zelaya-se-va-del-Alianza-20250123-0007.html |publisher=El Grafico|access-date=24 January 2025|date=24 January 2024 }}</ref>

==International career==
Zelaya officially received his first cap on 23 April 2008, in a friendly match against [[China national football team|China]].<ref>{{cite web|website=RSSSF|title=International Friendly Matches 2008|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesf/friend-intres2008.html|access-date=20 October 2008}}</ref>

He scored his first goal with the national team on 6 September 2008, in a [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification - CONCACAF third round|2010 FIFA World Cup qualification]] match against [[Haiti national football team|Haiti]]. This game also saw him score his first [[hat-trick]] which lead El Salvador to a 5–0 win against the then [[Caribbean Nations Cup 2006-07|Caribbean Nations Cup]] champions.

At the [[2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup]], Zelaya received two trophies for the best player in the matches against [[Cuba national football team|Cuba]] and [[Panama national football team|Panama]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Flores, Gustavo|publisher=elsalvador.com|title="Fito" Zelaya, el arma letal de la Azul|url=http://www.elsalvador.com/mwedh/nota/nota_completa.asp?idCat=6377&idArt=5920134|access-date=12 June 2011|trans-title=Fito Zelaya, the lethal weapon of the Blue}}</ref> Overall, Zelaya scored 4 goals being the second top goalscorer of the tournament.

Zelaya was noted by Goal.com as being one of the Best XI of the 2011 [[CONCACAF Gold Cup]] — alongside [[Javier Hernández]] as forwards.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gubala|first=David|title=Gold Cup Best XI: Mexico reigns supreme|url=http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/588/gold-cup/2011/06/27/2550586/gold-cup-best-xi-mexico-reigns-supreme?synpar=yahoo|publisher=goal.com|access-date=18 July 2011}}</ref> [[CONCACAF]] also noted "Fito" scoring the fifth best goal of the tournament, a decent feat considering 80 goals scored in the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.concacaftv.premiumtv.co.uk/page/CatchUpVideo/0,,12907~1782681,00.html|title=CONCACAF TV – On Demand – Catch Up Video – Asmir Begovic|website=www.concacaftv.premiumtv.co.uk}}</ref>

According to IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics) Rodolfo Zelaya was one of the most skilled and popular Central American players of 2012. After being out of action for almost a year due to injury Zelaya, was selected to represent El Salvador for the [[2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup]] scoring all four goals for the team leading them to the Quarter-finals, as well as being named one of the best players of the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|title=El delantero Rodolfo Zelaya es el hombre del momento|url=http://www.elgrafico.com/el-delantero-rodolfo-zelaya-es-el-hombre-del-momento|website=El Grafico|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402120247/https://www.elgrafico.com/el-delantero-rodolfo-zelaya-es-el-hombre-del-momento|archive-date=2 April 2015}}</ref>

Scoring two goals versus [[Trinidad & Tobago national football team|Trinidad & Tobago]], one goal versus [[Haiti national football team|Haiti]], and versus [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]], several critics said that Zelaya was the only player that makes a big difference in the field, due to his dribbling skills and ability to score.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Reyes|first=Mario|date=16 July 2013|title=¿Fitodependencia?|language=es|url=http://elsalvadorfc.com/fitodependencia|url-status=live|access-date=18 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130824030553/http://elsalvadorfc.com/fitodependencia|archive-date=24 August 2013}}</ref>

In September 2013, Zelaya was handed a one-year ban from international football for his involvement in a [[match-fixing]] scandal with the [[El Salvador national football team]]. This ban was extended to worldwide in October of the same year.<ref name="Zelaya Ban"/>
