Obelar previously played for C.A. Peñarol, Villa Española and Tacuarembó F.C. in the Primera División Uruguaya.[1] He also played for C.D. Marathón of the Liga Nacional de Honduras and Millonarios in the Colombian Primera A.[2]
Obelar won the Honduran league with Marathón in 2008, leading to a move to Millonarios in 2010. He made a promising start with the Bogotá side, but was relegated to the bench midway through the 2010 season after a poor performance against Cortuluá.[3]
In November 2013, Obelar retired from football after losing four fingers of his left hand in a domestic accident involving a wood plane.[4][5]
