Geovânio Bonfim Sobrinho (born 13 March 1963), commonly known as Wando, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a left winger.
Over the course of nine seasons he amassed Portuguese top division totals of 225 games and 26 goals, mainly with Benfica.
Football career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Wando arrived in Portugal at only 19, and started playing for S.C. Braga. After two solid seasons in Minho he signed with fellow Primeira Liga club S.L. Benfica, being an important offensive weapon as the latter won one league (1987), three cups (1985 to 1987) and one supercup (1985).
After four seasons being regularly used, whether as a starter or substitute, and official totals of 139 games and 23 goals, Wando left Benfica and played three more years in the country – always in the top level – with Vitória de Setúbal and C.S. Marítimo (two seasons). He retired in 1993 at only 30, after a spell with Turkish side Konyaspor.
