Club career

Born in Andorra la Vella to Portuguese parents who hailed from Marco de Canaveses, Porto District,[1] Vieira's biggest achievement as a professional was appearing for F.C. Marco in two Portuguese second division seasons even though he only played a total of 15 matches, all in 2005–06.[1] He spent the remainder of his career in Spanish amateur football, his first club being SE Eivissa-Ibiza.[2][3]

Vieira signed for Atlético Monzón in summer 2008, remaining in Aragon until his retirement.[4][5]

International career

Vieira won his first cap for the Andorra national team on 12 October 2005, starting and being replaced early into the second half of a 0–3 home loss against Armenia for the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[6][1] He played his 100th international on 17 November 2020, in the 5–0 defeat to Latvia for the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League.[7]
