Heberty Fernandes de Andrade (born August 29, 1988), simply known as Heberty, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Malaysia Super League club Johor Darul Ta'zim.
In May 2015, Heberty controversially obtained Timorese citizenship, making him eligible to play for Timor-Leste internationally but he did not make his international debut with them.[1]
On 19 January 2017, the Asian Football Confederation declared 12 Brazilian men's footballers, including Heberty, ineligible to represent Timor-Leste. Following their nationality falsification, the country was banned from competing in international events.[2][3]
Heberty is considered one of the top 5 players in Matchday 13 of the Thai League 1 in an article by FOX Sports Asia.[4] He has made 249 appearances across four clubs in Thai League 1, the most for a foreign player in the league.
History[edit]
Ratchaburi F.C.[edit]
In 2014, Heberty moved to Thai club Ratchaburi Mitr Phol in Thai League 1. He finished his season in Thailand with the league top scorer award with 26 goals.
Muangthong United[edit]
In 2017, Heberty signed for Muangthong United.
Eligibility controversy[edit]
An inquiry held by the Prime Minister of Timor-Leste in 2016 heard that Heberty was one of seven Brazilian men's footballers to receive falsified baptism documents from Timor-Leste's Catholic Church, in order to make it appear he was eligible for Timorese nationality.[5]
All seven players are based in Asia, but only one, Juninho, has played for Timor-Leste's controversial national side.
Heberty received his Timorese passport in 2015,[6] despite having no known means of eligibility, such as a family connection, or residency.[7]
