Born in Santa Maria da Feira, Aveiro District, Vieira played nine matches as FC Porto's juniors won the 2018–19 UEFA Youth League, and scored to open their 3–1 win against Chelsea in the final in Nyon on 29 April.[2] On 24 October 2018, in a group game, he was sent off for two yellow cards in a 2–1 loss at FC Lokomotiv Moscow.[3]

Vieira made his senior debut with FC Porto B on 24 February 2019, coming on as a 57th-minute substitute for João Mário in a 0–1 away defeat to F.C. Arouca for the LigaPro.[4] Six months and a day later, he scored for the first time with a penalty in a 3–1 away victory over S.C. Farense.[5]

Vieira played his first competitive match with the first team on 10 June 2020, featuring 19 minutes in the 1–0 Primeira Liga home defeat of C.S. Marítimo.[6][7] Again from the bench, he scored his first goal in the competition on 5 July to help the hosts beat Belenenses SAD 5–0,[8] and totalled eight appearances at the end of the season for the eventual champions.[9]

On 27 October 2020, in only his second appearance in the UEFA Champions League, Vieira netted in the 2–0 win against Olympiacos F.C. in the group stage after starting at the Estádio do Dragão.[10]

Vieira played all five matches as Portugal finished runners-up to Spain at the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Armenia. In the group phase against the same team on 17 July, he earned a 1–1 draw with a free kick in Yerevan.[11] He and teammate Félix Correia were named in the Team of the Tournament.[12]

On 14 November 2019, Vieira won his first cap for the under-21 side, being booked in the 0–0 friendly home draw to Slovenia.[13] Five days later, he scored once and provided one assist in a 3–2 victory in Norway in the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[14]
