Bernardo Lancao Oliveira, known as Bernardo Oliveira or mononymously as Bernardo, is a professional soccer player who plays as an winger for Macarthur FC. [1] Born in Brazil, he represents Australia at youth level.
Bernardo played youth football in South Australia with Port Adelaide Pirates and Adelaide Olympic. [2]
After impressing whilst playing the youth leagues of NPL South Australia, Bernardo signed for Melbourne City on a scholarship contract, on 7 November 2019, being regarded by City director Michael Petrillo as "one of the best players in the 2004 crop of Australian players". [3] During his time at City, he broke into the Melbourne City NPL squad in 2021, making 2 league appearances in NPL Victoria 3 before the league cut short due to COVID. [4]
On 12 April 2021, Bernardo moved back to Adelaide to join with Adelaide United signing a scholarship contract that would expire in 2023. [5] This made him the second player whose father had previously played for the club, following Domenic Costanzo in 2020. [5] Bernardo made his professional club debut in a 3–1 win over Floreat Athena in the 2021 FFA Cup Round of 32. [6] He scored on his A-League debut, on 12 February 2022, in a 1-1 draw against Wellington Phoenix equalising for his team by full time. [7]
Bernardo extended his contract with Adelaide at the conclusion of 2021–22 A-League season, with a set date to expire in 2025. [8] At the beginning of the 2022–23 season, Bernardo suffered a fracture on his right fifth metatarsal bone during international break which led him to receive surgery and took him out for the rest of the season. [9]
Bernardo's contract was mutually terminated on 16 January 2024, with one year remaining, to "pursue another opportunity." [10] The same day he signed with A-League Men club Macarthur FC. [11]
Born in Brazil and moved to Australia at the age of three, Bernardo is eligible for both Brazil and Australia. [12]
After recovering from his injury, Bernardo was called up to Australia U20 for the 2023 AFC U-20 Asian Cup despite not having played in any league matches before. [13]
He is the son of former Adelaide United player Cássio Oliveira. [14]
