Ivo Filipe Cerqueira Damas (born 3 June 1977) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
He was immediately bought by Sporting CP on an eight-year contract in January 1998, but his career would never improve from there; he made his debut in the Primeira Liga with F.C.
Alverca, and also served a two-year loan at S.C. Lourinhanense, Sporting's farm team, appearing very rarely for the main squad.
[1][2][3] From his 2002 release from Sporting onwards, Damas played in almost every level of the Portuguese football league system, for instance representing F.C.
For a short period of time, in 2008, he had an unassuming abroad experience with Cypriot club Olympiakos Nicosia, but returned the following year to his country, joining amateurs AC Vila Meã (fourth division).
