Roberto Orlando Affonso Júnior (Template:Zh; born 28 May 1983), commonly known as Roberto Júnior, is a former professional footballer who played as a defender. Born in Brazil, he played for the Hong Kong national team.
Club career
Roberto started his senior career in Brazil with Santos from the age of 16. In 2007, Roberto joined Sun Hei SC following a dispute with his former club, and spent 7 years with Sun Hei, winning the HKFA League Cup and the Senior Shield in his tenure.
Following Sun Hei's refusal to join the newly established Hong Kong Premier League for the 2014-15 season, Roberto joined Eastern SC and proceeded to win his first league title in the 2015-16 season. Roberto was also a member in Eastern's 2017 AFC Champions League campaign. He was named in the Best XI in the Hong Kong Top Footballer Awards for 2 seasons (2015-16, 2016-17) as an Eastern player.
On 18 June 2017, Eastern's chairman Peter Leung claimed that Roberto was offered a two-year contract by R&F. Two weeks later, the two clubs agreed on a HKD$250,000 transfer fee.[1]
On 14 October 2020, Roberto left R&F after his club's withdrawal from the HKPL in the new season.
On 17 February 2021, Kitchee announced the signing of Roberto[2] and helped Kitchee secure the league title that season. He would proceed to win another Hong Kong Premier League title in the 2022-23 season.
On 10 June 2024, it was confirmed that Roberto had left Kitchee.[3]
International career
Roberto was born and raised in Brazil, but became a naturalized citizen of Hong Kong after 9 years of residence. He got a callup to the Hong Kong national football team and made his international debut in a World Cup qualifier 2–0 loss against Qatar on 24 March 2016.[4]
