Pablo David Palacios Herreria (born 5 February 1982 in Quito, Ecuador) is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays for Barcelona SC and the Ecuadorian national team. He is known as one of the best strikers in the domestic tournament, Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol, and has solidified his reputation as a goalscorer amongst Ecuador's top clubs.

Club Career

Palacios started out as a LDU Quito youth product, but got very little playing time. In 2004, he opted for a move to city rivals Sociedad Deportiva Aucas. By 2006, he had scored 23 goals in 81 matches, earning him a transfer to one of Ecuador's big teams, Deportivo Quito. His talent and goalscoring prowess earned him a call-up to the national team from Colombian coach Luis Fernando Suarez.

In December 2007, Palacios, along with many other important national players, moved to Ecuador's most popular team, Guayaquil side Barcelona SC.^[1]

International Career

Palacios began playing for Ecuador in 2007, making some important appearances against squads like Sweden, Ireland,^[2] and Colombia.

He was part of the squad that participated in the Copa America 2007. However, he failed to feature in any matches, and watched Ecuador's early elimination on the bench. He didn't get another callup until August 2008 when national team manager Sixto Vizuete called him up for a friendly against Colombia.^[3]
