Luís Filipe Andrade de Oliveira (born 30 September 1973), known as Andrade, is a Portuguese retired footballer. A gritty player with few skills he operated mainly as a defensive midfielder, but could also play as a defender.[1][2][3]

Football career

Andrade was born in Lisbon. After playing his youth football at Sporting Clube de Portugal he went on to represent G.D. Estoril Praia, C.F. Estrela da Amadora, C.F. Os Belenenses, S.L. Benfica (five years, with one season loaned to S.C. Braga),[4] Académica de Coimbra, C.D. Pinhalnovense, C.D. Olivais e Moscavide and Odivelas FC.

Andrade also had abroad spells with CD Tenerife (Spanish second division) and AEP Paphos FC (Cyprus, a few months), and finished his 20-year senior career in the regional championships in 2013, with Grupo Sportivo Loures and Odivelas again. He amassed Portuguese top flight totals of 193 games and one goal, and was a member of the national side that competed at the 1996 Olympic Games, helping it reach the fourth place.[2]
