Tiago Maria Antunes Gouveia (born 18 June 2001) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Primeira Liga club Benfica.
Born in Cascais, Lisbon District, Gouveia played for URD Tires and Sporting CP at youth level, before joining Benfica's academy in 2017, aged 16.[2]
On 10 November 2019, Gouveia made his professional debut for Benfica's B team, in the second division, coming off the bench to replace Tiago Dantas in the 72nd minute of a 1–1 draw away at Penafiel.[3] On 26 April 2021, he scored his first goal for Benfica B, the opener in a 2–2 league draw at home to Penafiel.[4]
On 30 April 2022, Gouveia made his debut for Benfica's main team, coming off the bench to replace João Mário on the 72nd minute of a 1–0 victory away at Marítimo, in the Primeira Liga.[5]
On 27 July 2022, Benfica sent Gouveia on a season-long loan to fellow Primeira Liga club Estoril Praia.[6] He made his debut for the side on 6 August, starting in a 2–0 league victory at home to Famalicão, impressing by being involved in the first goal and assisting the second.[7] Two weeks later, Gouveia scored his first Primeira Liga goal and first goal for Estoril, in a 2–2 draw at home to Rio Ave.[8] In the 2022–23 season, Gouveia made 30 appearances in all competitions for the Canaries, scoring 5 goals and providing 6 assists.[9]
After impressing on loan, Gouveia returned to Benfica and, on 3 July 2023, signed a new five-year contract with the club.[10] At the end of the 2023–24 pre-season, Benfica manager Roger Schmidt selected him to be part of the Eagles squad for the 2023–24 campaign.[11] On 20 September 2023, Gouveia made his UEFA Champions League debut, coming off the bench to replace Rafa Silva in the 83rd minute of a 2–0 group stage loss at home to Red Bull Salzburg.[12] A month later, he scored his first goal for Benfica's main team, in a 4–1 victory away at Campeonato de Portugal (Portuguese 4th tier) side Lusitânia, in the third round of the Taça de Portugal.[13]
