Flamengo

At Flamengo Felipe had a successful youth career, peaking with the title of the 2016 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, the most important youth tournament in Brazil. Felipe became one of the most important players in the championship campaign being selected as the highlight player of the tournament.[1][2]

Vizeu debuted in the professional team on 10 February 2016 in the 2016 Rio State League 5-0 win against Portuguesa (RJ).[3] Few days later on February 24 he scored his first goal for Flamengo in a 1-0 win over Cabofriense also for the 2016 Rio State League.

On March 2016 Felipe has been promoted to the professional squad due to the transfer of Kayke to Yokohama F. Marinos leaving the club with only Paolo Guerrero to play as striker.[4]

Felipe played his first Série A match and also scored his first goal in a 2-2 draw against Chapecoense on 25 May 2016 in the Estádio Raulino de Oliveira.[5]

On 18 July 2016 Brazil U23 head coach Rogério Micale announced that Vizeu had been chosen as one of the alternate players for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[6] Vizeu received his first call-up to play for Brazil U20 on 16 August 2016.[7]
