Club career
Grêmio
Born in Campinas, Brazil, Phelipe Megiolaro joined the Grêmio's Academy at the age of 13 in 2013, from Ponte Preta.[1] On 5 December 2018, he signed a new contract with the club, until the end of 2020.[2] Promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2019 season, Phelipe was mainly a third-choice behind Paulo Victor and Júlio César. On 19 October of that year, as the former was being rested for the 2019 Copa Libertadores semifinals and the latter was struggling with injuries, he made his first team – and Série A – debut by starting in a 2–1 away loss against Fortaleza.[3]
On 15 February 2023, Megiolaro moved abroad to Japan and transferred to J1 League club Vissel Kobe ahead of the 2023 season.[5] In March 2024, he made his debut for the club in a 0–2 J.League Cup defeat to Nagoya Grampus.[6] He then only made one more appearance throughout the rest of the 2023 season, in which he conceded 5 goals in a 0–5 defeat to Sanfrecce Hiroshima.[7]
Yokohama FC
In January 2024, it was announced that Megiolaro would be moving to J2 League club Yokohama FC ahead of the 2024 season.[8]
