Christian Rogelio Benítez Betancourt, also known as Chucho Benitez (born May 1, 1986) is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays as a forward for El Nacional in Ecuador.
Benítez is the son of one of Ecuador's all time top scoring players, Ermen Benítez, and it is hoped that he will be a young star for the Ecuador national team at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. His speed, elusiveness, and skill with the ball makes him look good and ready for the World Cup in Germany. He was a candidate for the Gillete Best Young Player Award that was awarded for the first time at the end of the FIFA World Cup to the best young player born on or after January 1, 1985.
