Víctor Hugo Antelo is the record holder among goal-scorers of Bolivian league since its inception in 1950. He amassed 350 goals in 554 games between 1983 and 2001.
«Tucho» Antelo is the only scorer to reach 300 goal mark.
The mark of 200 goals is achieved by 6 players, 150 goals by 14 players; they are listed in the table below.
Pablo Escobar, placed 5th in the historical ranking, holds the records on goals for a single club: 206 for The Strongest.
Augusto Andaveris, placed 13th, hold the record on goals scored for most clubs (11).
Andaveris is one of 3 players in the list who are still active (in bold) though he appeared in top tier last in 2019.
William Ferreira (Uruguay) is the only “full” foreigner in the list. But there are 5 players more who came from other South American countries and accepted local citizenship as a second.
Two of them, Juan Carlos Sánchez (from Argentina) and Pablo Escobar (from Paraguay) have played for Bolivia at international level, so they are considered as Bolivians.
The remaining three naturalized players didn’t play for Bolivia: Horacio Baldessari (Argentina), Jair Reinoso (Colombia), Alfredo Jara (Paraguay).
The mark of 100 goals is reached by 45 players at the moment.
Goals in promotion/relegation playoffs and tournaments for Copa Libertadores places are included in the players’ tallies.
