Filipe José Machado (13 March 1984 – 28 November 2016) was a Brazilian footballer who last played for Chapecoense as a defender.

Club career

Brazil

He played the first half of the 2005 season for Esportivo.[1] at Campeonato Gaúcho and 2005 Copa do Brasil.

Europe

On 8 August 2006, he left for Spanish club Pontevedra CF at Segunda División B.[2]

In the summer of 2007, he was first signed by U.D. Leiria, but due to a dispute with the head coach, he left for Bulgarian club CSKA Sofia. Machado appeared in 37 matches for the club, contributing with 2 goals. He also scored the winning goal for CSKA Sofia against Levski Sofia in the Eternal Derby during their first meeting of the 2007-08 A PFG season.[3] He stayed there until August 2009, contributing to the club's record 31st league title.

As a free agent, and following a trial period, Filipe Machado signed a 1+2-year contract with Serie B side Salernitana in August 2009.[4]

He was released in January 2010 after Machado trailed at Albacete Balompié[5] and not received any wage from Salernitana.[6] But the deal with the Spanish club has failed.

In 2010–11 season he left for Inter Baku.

In February 2011 he moved to the United Arab Emirates for Al Dhafra Sports & Culture Club.

In the summer of 2015 he joined Persian Gulf Pro League side Saba Qom.

Return to Brazil

In 2016 Filipe Machado returned back to Brazil to play for Chapecoense.

Death

Machado was one of 71 fatalities on 28 November 2016, when Chapecoense were on route to the first leg of the 2016 Copa Sudamericana Finals to play against Atlético Nacional in Medellín.[7]

Following the tragic accident, Machado's former club CSKA Sofia announced that part of the ticket revenue from their upcoming Bulgarian First League fixture against Pirin Blagoevgrad would be donated to Machado's family.[8] CSKA Sofia supporters also gathered to pay tribute to Machado and that of his Chapecoense teammates in front of the Brazilian embassy in Sofia, Bulgaria.[9]
