Fernandinho (Chinese: 费南多; pinyin: Fèi Nánduō; born Fernando Henrique da Conceição (Brazilian Portuguese: [feʁˈnɐ̃du ẽˈʁiki kũsejˈsɐ̃w]); 16 March 1993), known as Fei Nanduo, is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Chinese Super League club Shandong Taishan. Born in Brazil, he obtained Chinese citizenship through naturalization,[1] and plays for the China national team.

Club career[edit]

Atlético Sorocaba[edit]

Fernandinho began his professional career with his local lower league side Atlético Sorocaba after graduating from their youth team.[2]

Flamengo[edit]

After playing in several games he was bought by sports marketing company Traffic and trained with top tier club Flamengo who decided to buy 70% of the economic rights of the player.[3] On 15 August 2012, manager Dorival Júnior decided to give Fernandinho his debut for the club in a league game against Palmeiras where he came on as a substitute for Thomás Jaguaribe in a game that ended in a 1–0 defeat.[4] The following season Mano Menezes became the manager of the team and decided to give him a run of games.[5]

Madureira[edit]

At the start of the 2014 league season it was decided that Fernandinho needed regular playing time and he joined third tier club Madureira.[6]

Estoril Praia[edit]

On 7 February 2014, Fernandinho would soon join top tier Portuguese team Estoril Praia.[citation needed]

Chongqing Lifan[edit]

Fernandinho went on loan to struggling Chinese Super League side Chongqing Lifan in the 2016 summer transfer window.[7] After helping the newly promoted team stay up, he joined permanently on a 4–year deal in January 2016.[8] On 6 March 2016, he scored 2 identical solo run goals after dribbling past the entire opposition defence and handed Chongqing a shock 2–1 home win against 5-time defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao.[citation needed]

Guangzhou Evergrande[edit]

After four seasons with Chongqing, Fernandinho joined Chinese giants, Guangzhou Evergrande and was immediately loaned to Hebei China Fortune for the rest of the season.[citation needed]

Fernandinho was fined a club-record amount of ¥3 million ($430,000) for a breach of discipline as he was absent for Guanzhou's preseason training camp in Dubai.[citation needed]

Hebei China Fortune (loan)[edit]

On 15 July 2019, Fernandinho joined Hebei China Fortune on loan until the end of the 2019 Chinese Super League season. He returned to Evergrande before the 2020 season but overall failed to settle in the team and make an impact.[citation needed]

Shandong Taishan[edit]

On 11 April 2023, Fernandinho returned to the Chinese Super League after not playing for over a year and joined Shandong Taishan.[9] On 16 April 2023, he made his debut in a 1–0 away defeat against Shanghai Shenhua. On 29 June 2023, he scored his first goal for Taishan in a 4–1 home win against Changchun Yatai.[citation needed]

International career[edit]

In 2020, Fernandinho gained Chinese citizenship through naturalisation. Following his naturalisation as a Chinese citizen, his name was rendered as Fei Nanduo in Chinese.[citation needed]

On 21 March 2024, Fernandinho made his international debut for China in a 2–2 away draw against Singapore in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.[10] On 26 March 2024, Fernandinho scored his first international goal for China, converting in a penalty in a 4–1 home win against Singapore in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification match.
