Felipe Moreira dos Santos (born 28 November 1988 in Rio de Janeiro), commonly known as Felipe Moreira, is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays as a defender for FK Kukësi in the Albanian Superliga.[1]

Career

FK Kukësi

He left Alecrim and Brazil for the first time in his professional career to join Albanian Superliga side FK Kukësi ahead of the Europa League first qualifying round. He made his FK Kukësi and European debut on 2 July 2015 against Belarusian side FC Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, where he started the game and was substituted off in the 60th minute in the 2–0 win.[2] On 23 July 2015 in the second qualifying round in the 2015-16 UEFA Europa League against Mladost Podgorica in the second leg, he scored the opening goal as his team ran out 4-2 winners (4-3 Aggregate) and progressed into the third qualifying round against Legia Warsaw. In that game on 30 July 2015, he scored the equaliser just after the half time break, however the game was called off as Ondrej Duda was struck by a lighter by some Kukësi supporters. UEFA then awarded Legia Warsaw a 3-0 win.

After 1 goal in 8 league appearances for FK Kukësi, he sustained an injury late in 2015. The injury is likely to keep him out of action until May 2016.
