Pablo Daniel Escobar Olivetti (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpaβlo eskoˈβar], born 12 July 1978) is a Paraguayan-born Bolivian footballer that currently plays for Bolivian Primera División club The Strongest as an attacking midfielder or second striker.

Club career

Escobar started his career in the youth divisions of Olimpia, and eventually made his way to the first team although he spent more time playing for the reserves. In 2000, he was signed by the Argentine side Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy, and after three years with the club, he relocated to Bolivia to play for San José in 2004. His good conditions rewarded him with a transfer to The Strongest the following season. He also had a brief stint in Cerro Porteño in 2006 before returning to The Strongest for a second spell.

On 28 August 2008, he joined Brazilian club Ipatinga.[1] Escobar joined Santo André of Brazil on 5 January 2009.[2] He joined Mirassol in January 2010.[3] After about a year, he signed a 3-year contract with Paulista (Brazilian) side Botafogo-SP.[4]

International career

In August 2008, Escobar received Bolivian citizenship in order to play for the Bolivia national football team.[5] Between 2008 and 2012 Escobar made 15 appearances for Bolivia netting 3 goals.
