Fernando Recio Comí (Chinese: 列斯奧; born 17 December 1982), commonly known as Nando, is a footballer who plays mainly as a central defender for Hong Kong club Kitche SC.
He spent most of his professional career with Kitchee in Hong Kong after signing in 2010, eventually going on to represent the Hong Kong national football team.
Club career
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Recio only played amateur football in his country, representing UE Rapitenca and CF Amposta. In June 2010 he was signed by Kitchee SC in Hong Kong, reuniting with former teammate – at both clubs – Ubay Luzardo (also a stopper). The club's manager, compatriot Josep Gombau, had tried to acquire the player in the previous transfer window, but failed.[1]
On 17 October 2013, general manager Ken Ng announced that Recio had renewed his contract until 2016. On 29 May of the following year he won the Hong Kong Player of the Year Award for 2013–14 season, receiving a HK$35,000 prize.[2]
International career
Recio received his Hong Kong passport in October 2017, at the age of 34.[3] He made his debut for the national team on the 5th, in a 4–0 friendly win over Laos.[4]
