Rodolfo Zelaya (born July 3, 1988 in Usulutan, El Salvador) is a Salvadoran football (soccer) player, who currently plays forward for C.D. Chalatenango. He is one of the rising young stars of El Salvador impressing fans and coaches.
Zelaya started playing for C.D. San Rafael in 2004 where he would only play there for a year. The next season he would move to Atlético La Merced. In July of 2006, him and Rusvel Saravia were both offered a contract to play for C.D. Aguila. Both of them had rejected the offeres over pay disputes. Instead of signing with C.D. Aguila, he played in Segunda División de Fútbol Salvadoreño with A.D. Intipucá. After 2 years, Zelaya caught the attention of Vladan Vicevic and decided to sign him with C.D. Chalatenango since Vicevic couldnt sign him when he was managing C.D. Aguila at the time.
Hoping that Zelaya would give Carlos de los Cobos more options for forwards, he decided to include him to El Salvador national team and he made his debut against China.
