Benji Oldai Villalobos (born July 15, 1988 in El Salvador) is a Salvadoran footballer who currently plays for C.D. Águila.
Although Villalobos had been signed to C.D. Águila since 2006, he did not get any game time until May 2, 2008 in a league match against Alianza F.C.. Although C.D. Águila lost that game 2-1, Villalobos did very well and proved that he had a lot of potential. As a result, he has now become the teams number one goalkeeper and is also rated as one of the best young goalkeepers in El Salvador.
Villalobos received his first callup to the El Salvador national football team for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification game against Suriname on September 10, 2008. Unfortunately he did not get any game time, and although he has since then, been selected numerous times, he only received his first full men's national team Cap played against Guatemala in a international friendly, losing two-nil.
