Heberty Fernandes de Andrade (born August 29, 1988), simply known as Heberty, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Malaysia Super League club Johor Darul Ta'zim, on loan from Thai club Bangkok United.

In May 2015, Heberty controversially obtained Timorese citizenship, making him eligible to play for Timor-Leste internationally but he did not make his international debut with them.[1]

On 19 January 2017, the Asian Football Confederation declared 12 Brazilian men's footballers, including Heberty, ineligible to represent Timor-Leste. Following their nationality falsification, the country was banned from competing in international events.[2][3]

Heberty is considered one of the top 5 players in Matchday 13 of the Thai League 1 in an article by FOX Sports Asia.[4] He has made 249 appearances across four clubs in Thai League 1, the most for a foreign player in the league.

History[]

Ratchaburi F.C.[]

In 2014, Heberty moved to Thai club Ratchaburi Mitr Phol in Thai League 1. He finished his season in Thailand with the league top scorer award with 26 goals.

Muangthong United[]

In 2017, Heberty signed for Muangthong United.

Eligibility controversy[]

An inquiry held by the Prime Minister of Timor-Leste in 2016 heard that Heberty was one of seven Brazilian men's footballers to receive falsified baptism documents from Timor-Leste's Catholic Church, in order to make it appear he was eligible for Timorese nationality.[5]

All seven players are based in Asia, but only one, Juninho, has played for Timor-Leste's controversial national side.

Heberty received his Timorese passport in 2015,[6] despite having no known means of eligibility, such as a family connection, or residency.[7]
