Carlos Eduardo de Oliveira Alves (born 17 October 1989), known as Carlos Eduardo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Saudi club Al-Hilal FC as a midfielder.
Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Carlos Eduardo played youth football for three clubs. He started his senior career with Desportivo Brasil, who loaned him several times for the duration of his contract; in the Série A he represented Fluminense Football Club and Grêmio Barueri Futebol, but only appeared in 24 games the two sides combined.
Carlos Eduardo moved to Portugal in January 2011, being loaned to G.D. Estoril Praia in the second division. He contributed with 23 matches and one goal in his first full season, to help his team win the league and return to the Primeira Liga after a seven-year absence.
Carlos Eduardo made his debut in the main category of Portuguese football on 17 August 2012, coming on as a 60th minute substitute in a 1–2 away loss against S.C. Olhanense. He totalled nearly 1,600 minutes of action – notably scoring twice in a 4–0 home win over C.D. Nacional – during the campaign as the Lisbon club overachieved for a final fifth position and qualified to the UEFA Europa League.
