Eduardo da Silva Albuquerque (born 15 June 2000), simply known as Eduardo or sometimes as Dudu Miraíma,[1] is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Vitória.

Career

Born in Miraíma, Ceará, Eduardo joined Vitória's youth setup in 2016, after failed trials at Fluminense and Juventude. He made his first team debut on 15 February 2020, starting in a 2–1 Campeonato Baiano home win over Atlético de Alagoinhas.[2]

On 22 June 2020, Eduardo renewed his contract with Leão until December 2023.[3] He scored his first goal for the club on 17 April 2021, netting a last-minute winner in a 2–1 home success over Altos, for the year's Copa do Nordeste.

On 31 August 2022, already established as a first team member, Eduardo further extended his link with Vitória until 2025.[4] On 20 April of the following year, he was loaned to Náutico for the remainder of the season.[5]

On 6 September 2023, after Náutico's elimination from the 2023 Série C, Eduardo moved to Portuguesa also in a temporary deal.[6]
