Hyderabad FC, aiming to fortify their foreign lineup, proudly unveiled their latest acquisition – the dynamic Brazilian attacker, Felipe da Silva Amorim. This move was announced on Monday, spotlighting the franchise's ambition for the upcoming season.
Felipe, an experienced 32-year-old footballer, has committed to a one-year tenure with Hyderabad FC. Fans and analysts are eagerly anticipating his contribution in the 2023-24 campaign, with the hope that he will bring his international flair and expertise to the club.
"My aim is to bring success to this club and I am excited to be playing in the Indian Super League," said Amorim, after completing the formalities.
Hailing from Brasilia, Felipe's passion for football was kindled in his hometown, laying the foundation of what would become an illustrious career. His talent caught the attention of major clubs and in 2016, he made a significant move by joining the prominent Brazilian side, Fluminense.
However, the allure of Asian football beckoned. Felipe transitioned to play for Suphanburi in Thailand, where he made a substantial impact. Over the past three seasons in Thailand, he has graced the field nearly 100 times across various tournaments. Among his notable achievements during this stint was leading his team to lift the coveted Thai FA Cup in 2021.
Felipe's experience isn't just limited to club football. He's donned the iconic yellow and green, representing Brazil's U20 team. Further adding to his credentials, he has participated in the esteemed AFC Champions League and has been instrumental in clinching the top spot for his side in five different leagues, a feat he achieved seven times.
"I want to pass on my experience to the younger players at the club," said Felipe.
"I also want that experience to be an example to all my teammates and hopefully, we can work hard as a team in the upcoming season," he added.
His adaptability is another feather in his cap. Felipe is renowned for his versatility on the pitch, capable of maneuvering both wings and taking charge through the center. This skill set, combined with over a decade's worth of professional football wisdom, makes him an invaluable asset for Hyderabad FC.
As the new season approaches, the Hyderabad FC family, along with its ardent supporters, are buzzing with excitement. They believe that Felipe's inclusion will not only rejuvenate their attacking lineup but also instill a fresh dynamism, propelling the team to new heights.
