Eliseu Pereira dos Santos, ComM (born 1 October 1983), known simply as Eliseu (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɛliˈzeu]), is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for S.L. Benfica and the Portugal national team, either as a left back or left winger. He is known for his powerful strike.
After starting out at Belenenses, he went on to spend most of his career with Málaga after signing in 2007, appearing in 224 official games and scoring 27 goals in two different spells. In 2014 he signed with Benfica, winning three consecutive Primeira Liga titles.
A full international since 2009, Eliseu was part of the Portuguese squad who won Euro 2016.
Eliseu was born in Angra do Heroísmo, Azores, to a Cape Verdean mother, Néné Pereira, a restaurant owner, and a Portuguese father, an ambulance driver. The couple divorced when their child was a teenager.
Eliseu moved to Portugal's mainland in 2002, moving from Sport Clube Marítimo de Angra do Heroísmo to C.F. Os Belenenses. He gradually broke into the Lisbon-based club's first team, appearing in 19 Primeira Liga games in his second season.
After a loan with Varzim S.C. in the Segunda Liga, Eliseu continued to be a relatively important attacking player for Belenenses, but was used mainly as a substitute.
