Virgilio Da Costa Neves

Virgilio Da Costa Neves (23 September 1881 – unknown ) was a Portuguese footballer who played as a forward for Spanish club FC Barcelona. He is best known for being the first Portuguese player to wear the FC Barcelona shirt when he played for them in 1903. He was often mentioned in the press of his time as D'Acosta or Da Acosta, and was erroneously considered to be of Italian origin. Steinberg then settled in Barcelona for professional reasons, and so, in 1902, da Costa began to make visits to Barcelona and play sporadically with Hispania AC.

In 1906 Virgilio Da Costa Neves returned to his native Porto to work as an engineer and his return coincided with the reactivation of Futebol Clube do Porto in 1906, and after his football career in Mittweida and Barcelona, he enthusiastically joined the new project, led by José Monteiro da Costa.

Da Costa was the first Portuguese player for FC Barcelona.
