Anthony Lopes (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈlɔpɨʃ]; born 1 October 1990) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for French club Olympique Lyonnais as a goalkeeper.
He came through the youth ranks at Lyon, being called to the first team in 2011 and making his debut the following year. He also played for them in the 2014 Coupe de la Ligue Final.
Born in France, Lopes represented Portugal internationally, totalling 36 caps at youth level including 11 for the under-21 team. He made his senior debut for the country in March 2015, and was chosen for Euro 2016.
Born in Givors in the Metropolis of Lyon to a French mother and a Portuguese father, Lopes joined local Olympique Lyonnais's youth system at the age of 9. He was promoted to the first team for the 2012–13 season, acting as third-choice behind Rémy Vercoutre and Mathieu Valverde; his first match as a professional took place on 31 October 2012, in a 1–3 away loss against OGC Nice for the Coupe de la Ligue.
