Márcio Vieira de Vasconcelos (born 10 October 1984), known as Vieira, is an Andorran footballer who plays as a midfielder for Portuguese club AD Marco 09.

Club career

Born in Andorra la Vella to Portuguese parents who hailed from Marco de Canaveses, Porto District,[3] Vieira's biggest achievement as a professional was appearing for F.C.

Vieira signed for Atlético Monzón in summer 2008, remaining in Aragon for 15 years.[6] [7] The 38-year-old returned to Portugal on 27 July 2023, joining amateurs AD Marco 09 who had risen from the ashes of his first club.[8]

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.[9] [3] He played his 100th international on 17 November 2020, in the 5–0 defeat to Latvia for the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League.[10]
