Carlos Augusto Paiva Raposo Vilar (18 December 1874 – 17 July 1963 ) was a Portuguese naval officer and a pioneer of football in Portugal.

Early and personal life Carlos Villar was born on 18 February 1874, in Santa Catarina, Lisbon, Following their father's death on 21 March 1912 all of the brothers founded themselves with the right to challenge the same house, so they decided to go trial with the intention of being judged as the only heir of their late father, and such sentence was decided in the second court hearing of this case at the Tribunal da Comarca de Lisboa in November 1913. The Portuguese team was made up of members of Sporting Club of Cascais, a very elite club patronized by King Luis and King Carlos and by those who could afford to be close to the Royal Family, including counts, viscounts, other prominent members of Lisbon's high society, and two members of the Villar family, Carlos and his older brother Afonso, The position he played is unknown, but he helped his team to a 2–1 win over the much more advanced Englishmen. CIF also briefly functioned as an association, organizing the first leagues in the country.

Death Villar died in Santa Maria de Belém, Lisbon, on 17 July 1963, at the age of 73.
