Filipe Oliveira

Born in Braga, Oliveira started his career with local S.C. Braga, joining their youth system at the age of 10. Still in his teens, he was bought by Chelsea for a reported cost of £500,000, making his Premier League debut on 19 October 2002 in a 3–0 away win over Manchester City where he played one minute after coming on as a substitute for two-time scorer Gianfranco Zola; however, he never managed to break into the main squad and, during one month, served a spell at Preston North End. Oliveira played once for the Blues in 2004–05, in the last game against Newcastle United where he also came off the bench. In the summer of 2005 he was loaned to C.S.

At the end of 2006–07, which included his only Primeira Liga goal in a 3–2 away loss against neighbours C.D. Nacional, Oliveira was released and joined Leixões SC, recently returned to the top flight after several decades of absence. In June 2008, after having helped the Matosinhos team to retain their status, he returned to Braga now as a senior player, signing a two-year contract. He appeared very rarely throughout his debut campaign, one of his few chances being a 5–0 win at C.F. Os Belenenses. After the January 2010 sale of starter João Pereira to Sporting CP, Oliveira became the first-choice right-back. He finished the season with 17 appearances, as the Minho…

Oliveira represented Portugal at every youth level. He was part of the team that finished runners-up to Italy in the 2003 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. In summer 2006, Oliveira appeared – with Chelsea and Marítimo teammate Morais – for the under-21s at the 2006 European Under-21 Championship, on home soil.
