'''Óscar Carmelo Sánchez Zambrana''' (July 16, 1971 – November 23, 2007) was a [[Bolivia]]n footballer who played for the [[Bolivia national football team]] in the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]] held in the United States. Born in [[Cochabamba]], he was capped 78 times by Bolivia and scored 6 goals, between 1994 and 2006.<ref>[https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/bol-recintlp.html rsssf: Bolivia record international footballers]</ref> He was the captain of the national team several times. He made his debut for the national side on April 20, 1994, in a [[friendly match]] in [[Bucharest]] against [[Romania national football team|Romania]].

At club level he began his professional career with [[The Strongest]] in 1991. After five seasons with the ''atigrados'', he was transferred to Argentine club [[Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy]], where he built a solid reputation as a temperamental and tough defender with scoring ability. His impressive displays rewarded him with a transfer to giant club [[Club Atlético Independiente|Independiente]] in the winter of 1998. On his return to Bolivia in 2000, he would spend two more periods with The Strongest, and one with [[Club Bolívar|Bolívar]]. In 2007, he had one of his kidneys removed due to the discovery of a tumour, which proved to be malignant. After the operation he continued playing, but was forced to retire soon thereafter. He was offered the manager position of The Strongest, with which he attained an impressive undefeated streak. In October 2007, his weak health forced him to quit that position too. Sánchez died on November 23, 2007.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=L'Equipe|author=AFP|title=Foot - Disparition - Décès d'Oscar Sanchez|url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2007/20071124_074932Dev.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120908060427/http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2007/20071124_074932Dev.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-09-08|language=French|date=2007-11-24|authorlink=Agence France Presse}}</ref>
