[edit]

Born in Lourinhã, Lisbon, Lupeta played youth football for three clubs, including FC Porto between 2006 and 2012.[2] In May 2013, he joined Hungarian side Videoton FC.[3] He featured rarely in his one-year tenure, playing 14 official matches and scoring five goals[4] in the Ligakupa to help his team reach the final.[5][6][7][8]

In summer 2014, Lupeta returned to his country and signed a two-year contract with Vitória de Setúbal.[9] He scored his only goal in the Primeira Liga in his third appearance in the competition, starting and contributing to a 2–0 home win against C.D. Nacional.[10]

Lupeta subsequently competed in the South African Premier Division, in representation of Bidvest Wits F.C. and Ajax Cape Town FC.[11] On 25 February 2017, he joined NK Celje of the Slovenian PrvaLiga.[12]

In late August 2018, Lupeta moved to NK Olimpija Ljubljana in the same country and league on a three-year deal.[13] On 2 September, he helped the hosts beat NK Rudar Velenje 5–0 by netting in the 34th minute through a bicycle kick.[2]

On 5 November 2020, Lupeta terminated his contract with Olimpija and joined Israeli team Maccabi Petah Tikva FC.[14] In June 2021 he moved to the Romanian Liga I, having a very brief spell with FC Argeș Pitești[15][16] before signing a two-year deal with FC Botoșani.[17]
