Club career edit

Bahia edit

Born in Itambé, Bahia, Filipe Augusto joined Bahia's youth setup in 2009, aged 16. He was promoted to the first team in 2012 by manager Paulo Roberto Falcão, and renewed his contract with the club in February 2012 until 2014.[2]

Filipe Augusto made his professional debut on 29 February 2012, coming on as a substitute for Magno Cruz in a 5–1 home win against Camaçari in the Campeonato Baiano.[3] He appeared in two further games during the tournament, as the Tricolor were crowned champions.

Rio Ave edit

On 18 June 2012, Filipe Augusto signed with Primeira Liga side Rio Ave for five years and a €2.2 million fee.[4] He made his competitive debut on 18 August, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Marítimo. His first match in the UEFA Europa League occurred on 31 July 2014, when he featured 75 minutes in a 1–0 away victory over IFK Göteborg in the third qualifying round.[5]

On 1 September 2014, Filipe Augusto moved to Valencia from Spain in a season-long loan deal, alongside manager Nuno Espírito Santo.[6] His maiden La Liga appearance took place 21 days later, in a 3–0 win at Getafe where he replaced Dani Parejo in the 80th minute.[7] During his spell at the Mestalla Stadium, he was very rarely played.[8]

Filipe Augusto joined Braga in the Portuguese top division for 2015–16, still owned by Rio Ave.[9] In October/November 2015 he scored rare goals (both from penalty kicks) to help oust Segunda Liga teams Académico de Viseu (3–0 away win)[10] and Farense (1–0, also away) from the Taça de Portugal.[11] In late April 2016, however, he suffered a knee injury that sidelined him for the rest of the campaign.[12]

Benfica edit

On the last day of the 2017 January transfer window, Filipe Augusto signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with Portuguese champions Benfica.[13] In that season, he played injury time in the final of the domestic cup, won after defeating Vitória de Guimarães 2–1.[14]

On 23 January 2018, Filipe Augusto was loaned to Turkish Süper Lig club Alanyaspor until June of the following year.[15]

Later career edit

Filipe Augusto returned to Rio Ave on 30 January 2019 after severing his ties with Benfica, agreeing a deal until June 2021.[16] On 31 August 2021, after his team's top-tier relegation, he joined Damac FC of the Saudi Professional League;[17] only four months later, he was released by the latter.[18]

On 23 February 2023, Filipe Augusto returned to Brazil after nearly eleven years, signing for Cuiabá of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.[19]

International career edit

In 2012, Filipe Augusto appeared with the Brazil under-20s in the 2012 Eight Nations Cup.[20] He was also named in a provisional 27-men squad for the 2013 South American Youth Football Championship,[21] but was one of four players cut from the final list.
