Hélder Luís Lopes Vieira Tavares (born 26 December 1989) is a footballer who plays as a midfielder for C.D. Tondela and the Cape Verde national team.

Club career

Born in Santa Maria dos Olivais, Lisbon District, Tavares played his first years as a senior in amateur football. In the summer of 2013, aged nearly 24, he signed with S.C. Beira-Mar in the second division from C.D. Pinhalnovense in the third.

On 27 July 2013, Tavares made his professional debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 away loss against Portimonense S.C. in the season's League Cup.[1] He first appeared in the division two championship on 12 August, again playing the entire match in a 2–3 home defeat to FC Porto B.[2]

In the 2015 off-season, after one year in Romania with FC Oțelul Galați,[3] Tavares joined Primeira Liga club C.D. Tondela.[4] His first match in the Portuguese top tier occurred on 14 August by featuring 70 minutes in a 1–2 home loss against Sporting Clube de Portugal,[5] and he finished his debut campaign with 30 appearances as his team managed to avoid relegation; in June 2016, he renewed his contract for another year.[6]

International career

Tavares made his debut for Cape Verde on 28 March 2017, in a friendly against Luxembourg.[7][8]
