Felipe Lima

Felipe Lima was still training with Flamengo's first team when two continental titles inside a single year, the Copa Libertadores Sub-20 and the Copa Intercontinental Sub-20, both won with Brazil's most storied academy in 2025. He had already collected a Sub-20 national championship in 2023 and a Rio state Sub-17 cup, part of a run of 96 appearances and 16 goals for Flamengo's junior sides between 2022 and 2025.

Felango sold his rights to FC Alverca in June 2025, keeping a 20 percent economic stake and tying him to a contract through 2028. At Alverca the forward split time between the reserves and the first team: 23 matches and 14 goals for the B side in the Campeonato de Portugal, against six scoreless outings in the senior team.

A month later, Alverca loaned him on to Benfica B for the 2025/2026 season, with an option letting Benfica buy 70 percent of his rights for €1.5 million. He has made two appearances for the side so far in the current campaign, wearing the number 56 shirt.

Lima plays as a forward and stands 187cm tall. Born in Araçatuba, Brazil, in 2006, he has yet to add a senior cap for his country to the youth honours he built up in Rio de Janeiro.
