Career

[edit]

Revealed by the youth sectors of São Cristóvão FR, Márcio Costa began his career at Bragantino. He then played for Fluminense, where he was state champion and made 98 appearances, and for Flamengo, where he was again state champion and the Copa Oro in 1996. He played 104 matches for the club, scoring one goal.[1]

In 1997 he joined Corinthians, a team where he was a substitute most of the time, but participated in historic achievements such as the Brazilian two-time championship and the FIFA Club World Championship in 2000. He made 85 appearances and scored 4 goals for the club.[2]

From 2001 onwards Márcio Costa played for countless Brazilian football clubs, but without making history in any of his spells. He was champion of the second tier of Rio de Janeiro in 2007 with Resende FC, and was promoted to the first division with Barra Mansa FC years later.[3] In 2015 he played for another "Corinthians", Corinthians de Caicó do Rio Grande do Norte. At 41 years old, he attributes the longevity of his career to the fact that he has never been injured.[4][5]

Costa spent the last years of his career playing in Federal District football, being champion of the local second division with Bolamense in 2017. His last club was Santa Maria in 2019.[6]
