Elvis Vieira Araújo (born 9 September 1990) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Figueirense as a midfielder.
Career
Born in Janiópolis, Brazil. Elvis started his career at Paraná Clube, with a one-year spell at Botafogo. He was quickly signed by Benfica on 12 January 2011, on a three and half year contract.
After six months without competing, he joined União Leiria in Primeira Liga on a year-long loan deal. In a good individual year, Elvis played 27 games, with 2 goals, however, Leiria was in financial crisis, so he terminated his loan contract for unpaid salaries on 28 April 2012.
For the following seasons, he was assigned to the reactivated Benfica B, making his debut in a 6–0 win against of Belenenses. He did not have enough playing time, so he opt-out of his remaining contract and signed with Tombense in the Série D.
At Tombense, Elvis was first loaned to América Mineiro, but returned the following year to help the small town team win their first ever promotion to the Série C. His performances led to a move to Botafogo in 2015, winning the Taça Guanaraba at Fogão.
Botafogo opted not to renew Elvis contract and, on January 6, 2016 Elvis signed with Criciúma.
