Feliciano Barbosa (deceased) is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a half-back.

He joined Benfica in 1933 but was seldom used in six years there. He won the league in 1937–38.

Career

Barbosa joined Benfica in 1933 and made his debut on 4 February 1934, against Sporting.[1] It was the only time that Ribeiro dos Reis used him that season.[2] In 1934–35, he only competed in the Campeonato de Lisboa and the next two seasons did not play at all, returning only on 7 November 1937 with Beleneses.[3][4][5] He did play twice in the Primeira Liga, enough to win him the championship with Benfica.[5][6]

His breakthrough season was in 1938–39, when he played 28 games in all competitions, scoring four goals, but Benfica failed to win any silverware.[7][8] He left the club in 1939 with 45 games played and 8 goals scored.[9]
