Ivo Filipe Claudino da Palma Gonçalves (born 6 May 1984) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Cinfães.
Club career.
Born in Silves, Algarve, Gonçalves appeared in 238 matches in the Segunda Liga, representing Portimonense SC (two spells), S.C. Farense, Académico de Viseu FC (twice), F.C. Penafiel, Leixões SC, F.C. Vizela and Länk FC Vilaverdense. He made his debut in the competition on 27 August 2006, in a 0–1 home loss against C.D. Santa Clara.
On 6 December 2015, playing for Penafiel, Gonçalves scored from his goal in an eventual 3–2 defeat away to Santa Clara. He contributed 19 games as Vizela returned to the Primeira Liga at the end of the 2020–21 season after an absence of 36 years, but subsequently played second-fiddle to newly signed Charles Silva as well as Pedro Silva.
Gonçalves made his only appearance in the top flight in the last match of 2021–22 campaign, with his team already safe from relegation; the 38-year-old started in the 4–1 loss at Moreirense F.C. on 14 May, with the opposition in turn avoiding an immediate drop and being forced to take part in the relegation play-off.
After achieving second-tier promotion with Vilaverdense in 2022–23, Gonçalves renewed his contract. On 22 January 2024, he returned to the Liga 3 on a five-month loan to F.C. Felgueiras 1932.
Gonçalves signed for amateurs C.D. Cinfães in August 2024.
