Paulo José Lopes de Figueiredo ((:fiɡɐjˈɾedu); born 28 November 1972) is a white Angolan retired footballer who played as a central midfielder. He spent the bulk of his 17-year professional career with Santa Clara, amassing Primeira Liga totals of 97 games and eight goals over the course of three seasons (eight in total with the club). An Angolan international for five years, Figueiredo earned 30 caps and represented the nation at the 2006 World Cup and two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments. ==Club career== Figueiredo was born in Malanje, Portuguese Angola to Portuguese settlers, moving to the land of his parents at the age of three. From 1991 to 1996 he played for five clubs, including one spell at C.F. Os Belenenses for which he failed to appear in the second division in the 1991–92 season. In the 1996 summer Figueiredo signed for C.D. Santa Clara in the second level, scoring five goals in 33 games in his third year as the team promoted to the top flight for the first time ever. He made his debut in the competition on 22 August 1999 in a 2–2 home draw against Sporting Clube de Portugal, and appeared in 31 league matches during the 1999–2000 campaign, but the Azores side was immediately relegated back. After four more seasons with Santa Clara (two in the main division) and nearly 300 official games, Figueiredo moved to the Portuguese lower leagues, splitting 2004–05 with Sport Clube Dragões Sandinenses and S.C. Lusitânia. He then moved to Sweden with Östers IF, being relegated in his first and only season in the Allsvenskan. Figueiredo spent 2007–08 with FC Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț in Romania and C.D. Olivais e Moscavide in Portugal, without any official appearances for the former team. Subsequently, he closed out his career in his homeland after two years with C.R.D. Libolo.〔(Internacional angolano anuncia fim de carreira (Angolan international announces end of career) ); Ango Notícias, 18 June 2009 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paulo Figueiredo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
