Flávio Amado da Silva (born 30 December 1979), better known as Flávio, is an Angolan football forward who currently, as of May 2006, plays for Al Ahly in Egypt.

He is a member of the national team, and was called up to the 2006 World Cup, in which he scored Angola's only goal of the tournament, with a header against Iran to clinch a 1-1 draw.

He scored 3 goals for Angola in African Cup of Nations Egypt 2006, although they went out from the first round. His goals were against Cameroon and Togo.

He helped his team Al-Ahly to participate in the FIFA Club World Championship two successive times in 2005 and 2006. In FIFA Club World Championship 2006 opening match against Auckland City FC of New Zealand, 10 Dec 2006, Flavio scored the first goal with an accurate shot, giving Al-Ahly a 2-0 win.

In semi-final, Al-Ahly faced Brazilian Internacional on 13 Dec 2006, and Flavio played a good game, scoring the draw goal with a great header in the second half. But finally, Al-Ahly lost the match 2-1.

After having a very unsuccessful first season with the team during which he scored only one goal in the league, and being jeered by fans at many times, most notably when he missed a [penalty kick against rivals Zamalek in the African Champions League, Flavio had a very successful first 2006-2007 season seeing him the top goalscorer of the Egyptian league with 17 goals, one ahead of his teammate Emad Moteab.

Flavio has been rumoured to be on the move to English Championship side Bristol_City_FC on a 2 year contract and a fee of 1.2 Million.

  • Positive: Scored a lob in the 2007/2008 African Champions League 2nd phase group stage match against Al Hilal of Sudan after some stubborn defense in the game. He managed to overpower his marker and dribble past another defender before lobbing the ball with his not-preferred left foot over the advanced goalkeeper.
  • Negative: Scored his first ever Ahly goal by mistake using the backside of his head of his head in the Egyptian League match away to Ghazl Al Mahala. Fans commented about the goal that the player's only goal that season was an accident.
  • Positive: Scored two beauties for Al Ahly as he ended his almost to-the-day one year goal drought in the 2006/2007 League away match to Asiut Cement by scoring one header and a right leg volley.
