Elvis Manuel Monteiro Macedo (born 27 July 1985), known as Babanco, is a Cape Verdean professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club AEL Limassol as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Praia, Babanco started playing football with local Sporting Clube da Praia, moving in 2009 to another club in his hometown, Boavista FC.

In the 2010–11 season, he signed with F.C. Arouca in Portugal, which was competing for the first time ever in the country's second division. He was first-choice during his two-year spell, with the Aveiro side consecutively managing to retain their league status.

A Cape Verdean international since 2008, Babanco was called up to the national team for exhibition games against Malta and Angola in August 2009.[1]

On 24 May 2010, he appeared in a friendly in Covilhã with Portugal – who was preparing for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa – playing 60 minutes as the minnows (ranked 117th) managed a 0–0 draw.[2]
