Alfonso Obregon
| Date of birth | 12 May 1972 |
| Place of birth | Portoviejo |
| Nationality | Ecuadorean |
| Weight | 73 kg |
| Height | 1.80 m |
| Position | Midfielder |
Despite failing to score in over 40 internationals, Alfonso is a key figure for Ecuador as his impressive workrate links defence to attack in the middle of the park.
A tough tackler and good passer, he is also a very efficient man-marker.
Having reached his 30th birthday, qualification for the World Cup Finals in 2002 provides a suitable climax to Alfonso's international career.
