Heberty Fernandes de Andrade (born August 29, 1988) is a Brazilian-born East Timorese footballer who plays for Saudi Professional League club Al-Shabab FC . In May 2015, Heberty controversially obtained Timorese citizenship, making him eligible to represent the island nation internationally. However, he is yet to make his internationally debut.[1]
History
Ratchaburi F.C.
In 2014, Heberty moved to Thai club Ratchaburi in Thai League. He finished his season in Thailand with the league top scorer award with 26 goals.
Eligibility Controversy
An inquiry held by the Prime Minister of East Timor in 2016 heard that Heberty was one of seven Brazilian footballers to receive falsified baptism documents from Timor's Catholic Church, in order to make it appear he was eligible for Timorese nationality.[2]
All seven players are based in Asia, but only one, Juninho, has played for Timor's controversial national side.
Heberty received his Timorese passport in 2015,[3] despite having no known means of eligibility, such as a family connection, or residency.[4]
