Filipe Manuel Cordeiro Duarte (born 30 March 1985) is a professional footballer who most recently played for Benfica de Macau as a central defender. Born in Portugal, he played for the Macau national team.[1][2][3]

International career

Filipe Duarte secured Macau's first ever World Cup qualifying win on 6 June 2019 against Sri Lanka. But the Macau Football Association then refused to send the team to Sri Lanka to play the second leg due to security reasons.[4]

On 30 August 2024, it was announced that Durate, along with other Portuguese-born permanent Macanese residents are ineligible to play for the Macau National Football Team, ending his international career with Macau. [5]
