Manuel Bobadilla González (born 27 June 1970) is a Cuban retired footballer.

Club career

Regarded as the best Cuban player at the end of the 1990s, Bobadilla played his entire career for local side Ciudad La Habana, except for half a season in Germany with Bonner SC, when then Cuban leader Fidel Castro approved for the whole Cuban team to join the German 4th level side for part of the 1998/99 season. After retiring from football in 2001 due to coach Miguel Company ruling him out for the national team, he returned to play for Ciudad la Habana in the 2005 season.

He made his international debut for Cuba in 1995 and has earned a total of 57 caps, scoring 11 goals. He represented his country in 13 FIFA World Cup qualification matches (1 goal) and played at the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

His final international was an August 2001 Gold Cup qualification play-off match against Panama.
