Luís Filipe Veiga Dias (born 8 May 1981) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays mainly as a right back.

Football career

Born in Lisbon, Dias spent four years with local and national giants Sporting Clube de Portugal (youth teams included), but could never appear for more than the reserves as a senior. He first competed in the second division at the age of already 25, with neighbours C.D. Olivais e Moscavide, playing 15 games as the team was immediately relegated back to the third level.

In the following years, Dias played in Bulgaria – only a couple of months, after which he returned to his previous club – and Romania, spending his second season with FC Gloria Buzău in Liga II. In the 2010 summer he returned to his country and joined another side from the capital, Atlético Clube de Portugal, appearing in all 30 matches in his first year as they promoted to division two after an absence of several decades.
