Hugo Rodallega Martínez (born on July 25, 1985 in Carmelo) is a Colombian footballer who currently plays for Necaxa in Mexico. Rodallega became the all time top goal scorer of the South American qualification for the FIFA U-20 World Cup when he scored 11 goals in 9 games and beat Luciano Galletti’s record of 9 goals.
Upon his arrival to México, he played with Club de Fútbol Monterrey in the first season of 2006 in which he ended without much glory. He was then loaned to club CF Atlas for which he played the rest of 2006. For the 2007 Apertura he was transferred to Necaxa.
Rodallega's international debut was in a friendly against Venezuela. He briefly played goalkeeper during Colombia's final tournament game at the Copa America 2007, when first string goalkeeper Robinson Zapata was given a red card and Colombia had no more available substitutes. He was able to complete the game with Colombia winning 1-0.
Before joining the national team on November 10, 2007, he finished his most successful season in the Mexican league, finishing in the top 10 goal scorers list with 9 goals in 15 games.
On 30 April 2008, Rodallega scored two goals,assisted 1 goal and got a penalty awarded for his country in a 5-2 friendly match victory over Venezuela, being hailed by many Colombians as the return of Rodagol who scored 11 goals in the Sub 20 WC qualifier tournament in 2005.

He scored six goals for Colombia in friendlies but is expected to start after this good form in official games as he lost his spot after a bad Copa America where all the hopes were put on his young shoulders.
