Marco Paixão

Marco Filipe Lopes Paixão (born 19 September 1984) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Turkish club Bandırmaspor.

Born in Sesimbra, Setúbal District, Paixão spent his early career in Portugal and Spain, playing with lowly teams in both countries – his hometown's G.D. Sesimbra, FC Porto B,[2] CD Guijuelo, Logroñés CF and Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.

[3] Paixão's first taste of professional football came in 2009 as he signed for Scottish Premier League club Hamilton Academical on 6 August, alongside twin brother Flávio.

[14] The following January, after being barely used by the Czech club, he returned to the Ekstraklasa with Lechia Gdańsk after agreeing to a two-and-a-half-year contract;[15] his twin joined him a month later.

[17] In March 2018, Paixão was removed from the first team when manager Piotr Stokowiec accused him of feigning an injury,[18] and when his contract expired in June, he moved to Altay S.K.
