Leonardo Alberto Fernández (born January 13, 1974 in Avellaneda) is a retired Argentine-Bolivian football goalkeeper. He played for 13 professional clubs in six different countries.

Club career

Fernández has an extensive career in football. He started out at Argentinos Juniors, where he was promoted to the first team in 1994. He then transferred to Defensores de Belgrano. After a short spell, he moved to Bolivia in 1997 to join Oriente Petrolero, a club which acquired his playing rights shortly thereafter. Fernández spent a good portion of his career at Oriente, playing there in four different occasions altogether. During his first period with Oriente he had a series of impressive displays, situation that encouraged him to apply for Bolivian citizenship in hopes of getting a call from the national team. Fernández also played professionally for Independiente, Unión de Santa Fe, Chacarita Juniors and Tiro Federal in the Argentine Primera, CF Extremadura of the Spanish second division, Atlético Nacional in the Copa Mustang and Sociedad Deportiva Aucas of the Serie A de Ecuador.[1]

In April 2007, while playing for Oriente, Fernández tested positive for marijuana consumption after a league game's doping control test. He appealed for a second test, and after the results came positive again the league decided to suspend him for a two-year period.[2]

In 2009, Fernández returned to professional football with Bolivian first division club Real Mamoré.[3] Later in the year, he joined La Paz F.C., club where he finished his career.[4]

National team

After his naturalization, Fernández was called to represent the Bolivian national team. Between 2003 and 2005, he earned a total of 17 caps for Bolivia, including 3 appearances in Copa América 2004.
