Career

[edit]

Born in São Paulo, Marcão started his career in the amateur team, EC Ferraz, in the city of Ferraz de Vasconcelos. On 8 August 2007, he moved to Portugal to join C.F. Os Belenenses, arriving at the same time as Diego Sol.[1]

At the Belém-side, he, and others like Pedro Cary, Paulinho and Marcelinho, helped the club reach two playoffs finals against Benfica, losing both, plus two Portuguese Cup finals, winning one, and losing another.[2][3]

In January 2011, Marcão moved to the Qatar Futsal League, to play for Al Rayyan, staying just eight months, but winning the league title with the Qatari club. On 2 August 2011, he returned to Portugal and joined Benfica.[4][5] In the three years he spent with them, Marcão won one league title, his second Portuguese Cup, plus two supercups.[6][7]

In June 2014, Marcão joined AFC Kairat in the Kazakhstani Futsal Championship.[8] At Kairat, he acted mainly as a back-up for Leo Higuita, his replacement at Belenenses, in a side that conquered the 2014–15 UEFA Futsal Cup against Barcelona in Lisbon.[9][10]

A year after leaving to Kazakhstan, Marcão returned for a third stint in Portugal, joining Sporting CP on 21 July.[11] In three years spent with Sporting, bitter rivals of SL Benfica, Marcão won three league titles, two Portuguese cups, two league cup titles and two regional cups (Taça de Honra).[12][13] In the summer of 2018, Marcão returned to CF Belenenses on loan from Sporting CP.
