Jorge Filipe Vidigal (born 29 January 1978) is an Angolan retired footballer who played as a right back.

Football career

Born in Elvas, Portugal, Vidigal played most of his career in the country's lower leagues, representing hometown's O Elvas CAD (two spells), G.D. Estoril Praia, S.C. Olhanense and C.F. União. He also spent two years at Sporting Clube de Portugal, but appeared almost exclusively for its reserves.

Vidigal's only Primeira Liga experience came with S.C. Beira-Mar, who signed the player from Olhanense – where he also appeared as a defensive midfielder – on a two-year contract. He only appeared in ten matches in his debut season, and the Aveiro side was relegated.

In the summer of 2008, after a brief stint in Madeira with União, Vidigal joined C.R. Caála, returning to the land of his ancestors.

Personal life

Vidigal is the youngest of twelve brothers and sisters, four of his male siblings also being footballers: Beto, Lito – who represented Angola internationally and later became a coach – Luís (played for Sporting and Portugal with success, spent several years in Italy and was coached by Lito at C.F. Estrela da Amadora) and Toni.
