Givanildo Vieira de Sousa (born 25 July 1986), mononymously known as Hulk (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈʁuwki]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Fluminense.
After starting out professionally with Vitória and then playing three years in Japan, he played several seasons in Portugal with Porto, winning ten titles – including the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League and three national championships. He was crowned the league's top scorer once. In 2012, he joined Russian Premier League side Zenit Saint Petersburg for €60 million, winning all three domestic honours and being named the competition's best player and being top scorer, once each. He was transferred to Shanghai Port for an Asian record €58.6 million in 2016. In 2021, he returned to his homeland and joined Atlético Mineiro, winning the national league and becoming the club's seventh all-time top scorer in a five-year spell.
Hulk made his international debut in 2009, and played for Brazil at the 2012 Summer Olympics as one of the three permitted over-age players. He went on to represent the Brazilian team in their 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup victory and fourth-place finish at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
He is described by FIFA's official website as "a direct powerhouse of a centre- or wide-forward who knows his way around the box". Strongly built for a footballer, he acquired his nickname from his father, who was a fan of The Incredible Hulk television series starring Lou Ferrigno.
Hulk was born on July 25, 1986 and is 40 years old.
