Club career

Having started his career at his father's side, Windsor Arch Ka 1, Matos spent a season with Lam Ieng before moving to Sporting Clube de Macau. In 2014, he was offered a trial with the Macanese club's parent affiliate, Sporting Clube de Portugal.[1] He returned to Windsor Arch for the 2015 season, before heading to England to study sports psychology while also playing for lower division side Greenwood Meadows.[2]

International career

Matos made his senior international debut for Macau in qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, playing 90 minutes in a 3–0 defeat to Cambodia.[3]

Personal life

Matos is the son of Angolan-born former footballer Paulo Conde,[4] and the two featured in the same league game for Windsor Arch Ka I in 2012; a 1–0 win over Lam Pak. However they were not on the pitch at the same time, as Conde had been substituted at half time, and Matos came on in the 87th minute.[5]
