Adelino André Vieira de Freitas (born 24 January 1986), known as Vieirinha (Portuguese pronunciation: [vjɐjˈɾiɲɐ]), is a Portuguese footballer who plays for German club VfL Wolfsburg mainly as a winger but also as a right back.
Ambidextrous, he started playing for Porto, but spent most of his professional career with PAOK and Wolfsburg.
Vieirinha made his debut with the Portugal national team in 2013, and was part of the squads at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016, winning the latter tournament.
Formed in the youth ranks of local Vitória SC, Guimarães-born Vieirinha caught the interest of FC Porto and eventually finished his football grooming there. After a six-month loan at second division's F.C. Marco he joined the first team in the 2006–07 season, being given a four-year professional contract.
Vieirinha played his first official game for Porto on 11 August 2006, in the Portuguese Supercup against Vitória de Setúbal, coming on as a substitute in the 70th minute and scoring the game's last goal in the 89th, in a 3–0 final result.
