Ivanildo Jorge Mendes Fernandes (born 26 March 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Emirati club Ittihad Kalba.
Born in Portugal, he plays for the Cape Verde national team.
Club career[edit]
Born in Amadora, Lisbon metropolitan area of Cape Verdean descent, Fernandes joined Sporting CP's academy at the age of 18.[2] He spent his first three seasons as senior with the reserves in the Segunda Liga, his maiden appearance in the competition taking place on 20 September 2015 in a 2–1 away win against S.C. Freamunde where he played the 90 minutes.[3]
Fernandes scored his first league goal on 24 August 2016, in a 1–1 away draw with F.C. Famalicão.[4] He finished the campaign with a further goal[5] from 35 appearances, helping to a 14th-place finish. In November 2017, due to injuries to the defensive sector of the first team, he was called for a Taça de Portugal match against Famalicão,[2] but remained unused in the 2–0 victory.[6]
On 27 July 2018, Fernandes was loaned to Moreirense FC.[7] He made his debut in the Primeira Liga on 19 August, playing the entire 2–1 win at C.D. Nacional.[8]
On 31 December 2020, after serving subsequent loans at Turkish clubs Trabzonspor and Çaykur Rizespor, Fernandes joined Spanish Segunda División side UD Almería on loan for the remainder of the season.[9] In the ensuing summer, he signed a permanent three-year contract with F.C. Vizela who had just been promoted to the Portuguese top division.[10]
Fernandes agreed to a deal at newly-promoted UAE Pro League side Ittihad Kalba FC on 5 August 2023.[11]
International career[edit]
Portugal[edit]
Fernandes won his only cap for the Portugal under-21 side on 11 October 2018, in a 9–0 demolition of Liechtenstein for the 2019 UEFA European Championship qualifiers at the Rheinpark Stadion.[12]
Cape Verde[edit]
After switching his allegiance in March 2023,[13] Fernandes debuted with the senior Cape Verde national team later that month in a 1–0 away win over Eswatini in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign.[14]
