Evandro (footballer, born 1986)
Brazilian footballer

Evandro Goebel (born 23 August 1986), known as Evandro, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. He also held Serbian citizenship.
Over seven seasons, he amassed Série A totals of 144 matches and 12 goals, representing six clubs. He also competed professionally in Serbia, Portugal and England.
Club career
Atlético Paranaense
Born in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Evandro made his professional debut for Atlético Paranaense against Malutrom, in a 3–1 win for the Campeonato Paranaense on 10 February 2005. He scored his first goal on 1 June, helping to a 3–2 victory over Santos in the Copa Libertadores.
During his five-year tenure at the Arena da Baixada, Evandro was also loaned to Goiás, Palmeiras and Atlético Mineiro. On 25 May 2010, still owned by Atlético, he signed alongside teammate Renan Oliveira with Vitória, in exchange for Neto Berola.
Red Star
Evandro joined Serbian club Red Star Belgrade on 1 December 2010, on a three-and-a-half-year contract. In order to reduce the number of foreigners in the squad, a Serbian passport was requested for him, and the following July the Serbian government approved the move and he officially became a national of the country.

Why this record matters
The phrase “brazilian footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q660159. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986, 2005 and 2010.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
