Adilson Tavares Varela (born 22 October 1988), commonly known as Cabral, is a footballer who plays for Le Mont.
He spent most of his career at Basel, winning nine honours including five Swiss Super League titles, and also had brief spells in three foreign countries.
After representing his adopted Switzerland 30 times between under-18 and under-21 level, Cabral was called up in 2012 for his native Cape Verde but did not play.
Cabral came through the ranks at FC Lausanne-Sport and made his debut for the club in 2005. He went on to play 26 games for Lausanne-Sport.
In summer 2007, he left Lausanne for FC Basel on a free transfer, signing a three-year deal. He made his debut for Basel in the 5–1 away defeat on 5 August 2007 against BSC Young Boys. However, he played just a handful of games during his first season at Basel and therefore for the 2008–09 season he was loaned out to Sevilla FC's B Team, Sevilla Atlético, where he made 22 appearances, scoring one goal.
When he returned to Basel Manager Christian Gross had been sacked and Thorsten Fink was in charge. Cabral had become a much improved player following his season in Spain and thus during the 2009–10 season he broke into the first team squad. He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 home win over AC Bellinzona on 6 December 2009. At the end of that season Cabral was part of the Double winning squad and he had played 21 league games during the campaign.
