Eduardo 'Edu' Bedia Peláez (born 23 March 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for and captains Indian Super League club FC Goa as a central midfielder.
Club career[]
Spain and Germany[]
Born in Santander, Cantabria, Bedia was a product of hometown's Racing de Santander's youth ranks, making his first-team (and La Liga) debut on 24 September 2008 by starting and playing the first half of a 2–0 away loss against Villarreal CF.[1] In a season where the main squad eventually escaped relegation while still having to appear in the UEFA Cup, he managed to take part in a further 16 competitive games, scoring goals against FC Honka and Real Murcia, the former in European competition.[2][3]
In January 2011, Bedia was loaned to UD Salamanca in Segunda División,[4] totalling 1,119 minutes of play during his five-month spell but suffering team relegation.[5] Subsequently, returned to Racing and the top flight, he met the same fate at the end of the campaign.
Bedia continued in the second division the following years, with Hércules CF[6] and FC Barcelona B.[7][8] On 16 June 2014, both he and Barça B teammate Ilie Sánchez signed with TSV 1860 Munich of the German 2. Bundesliga.[9]
On 13 July 2015, Bedia signed a two-year deal with Real Oviedo, newly promoted to the second tier.[10] On 19 January 2017, he moved to fellow league team Real Zaragoza.[11]
Goa[]
On 2 September 2017, Bedia joined Indian Super League franchise FC Goa on a two-year contract.[12] He was appointed as captain ahead of 2020–21,[13] and represented them in the 2021 edition of the AFC Champions League, scoring in a 2–1 defeat at Persepolis F.C. on 20 April; in the process, he became the first player to achieve this feat for an Indian club in the competition's group stage.[14][15]
Bedia appeared with his side in the 2021 Durand Cup: in the semi-finals, he was named player of the match as they defeated Bengaluru FC 7–6 in sudden death.[16] In the decisive game, against Mohammedan SC on 3 October, he scored the loan goal through a free kick.[17]
