Marcelo Elizaga is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on April 19, 1972 in Morón, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

He is still with the club six years later, despite numerous opportunities to leave. He is also its captain and fan favorite. Although he has publicly declared his intention to retire from Emelec, he did not win a title in 2006. Emelec was second behind El Nacional in 2006.

He continually receives call-ups for the national team, often as a back-up for José Francisco Cevallos. In June 2009, he started in World Cup qualifiers against Peru and Argentina in place of the injured Cevallos. During those matches, he helped the squad earn crucial points for qualification, including a clean-sheet against Argentina in which he saved a penalty kick against Carlos Tevez during the first half of the match. He also performed strongly during a decisive match against Uruguay, but conceded a penalty kick (converted by Diego Forlan) after bringing down an Uruguyan striker in the last minutes of the game, resulting in a 1–2 loss.

On 30 December 2010, Elizaga left Emelec and signed with Deportivo Quito for one season, a transfer that was met with lot of surprise specially by Emelec’s fans.

Emelec signed him as one of the four foreign players for 2004. He quickly showed great goalkeeping skills, and despite Emelec’s poor season, he quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his performances for Emelec. His first award for best goalkeeper in Ecuador was for him. He was ratified by the club and again became Emelec’s best player, helping the club avoid relegation the second consecutive season.
