António Pedro de Brito Lopes (born 23 July 1979), commonly known as Toni, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a right back.
After starting out professionally at Farense, he went on to represent Benfica and Beira Mar in the Primeira Liga, signing with the former in 2002. He also competed in Switzerland, Spain and Cyprus, spending eight seasons in the latter nation, mostly with Apollon Limassol.
Born in Setúbal, Toni grew up in the neighbourhood of Bela Vista and started playing football at local Clube Desportivo Pelezinhos. He signed for neighbouring Vitória F.C. at the age of 15, where he finished his formation. His beginnings as a senior were spent with Lusitano G.C. in the fourth level, which he helped finish fourth in his first season and second in the following, with the subsequent promotion in the latter case.
In July 2000, Toni moved to the Primeira Liga and joined S.C. Farense. He made his debut in the competition on 29 October of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute and assisting for the second goal in a 2–1 away win against C.F. Estrela da Amadora. His performances soon attracted interest from S.C. Braga and Sevilla FC, and he was also linked with Southampton,Paris Saint-Germain F.C. and West Ham United towards the start and during the off-season, but ultimately signed with S.L. Benfica on a reported free deal.
