BIOGRAPHY
A key member of Al Shabab's squad, Carlos Júnior has been an important figure in the Saudi Pro League this season. Originally from Santa Luzia, Brazil, this Brazil international has steadily made his way to the top level. His 176 cm, 75 kg build makes him a powerful midfielder capable of holding his own in any physical contest. Whether holding or organising, he adapts perfectly to the different situations he encounters on the pitch. His career path has taken him through Santa Clara, Rio Ave, Parana, among others, experiences that have made him the complete professional he is today. The silverware in his career — notably Copa do Brasil, Division 1, Mineiro 1 — confirms his ability to perform in the biggest moments. As the 2025/2026 season progresses, he continues to represent Al Shabab with dedication and professionalism. His daily commitment and consistency make him a respected figure in Al Shabab's dressing room.
