Ha Noi T&T

Traded to Vietnamese outfit Ha Noi T&T in 2011, Fufuco was known for his enthusiastic attitude from the first day of training, making his debut in the last 20 minutes of a game fronting Thanh Hoa.[3] Even though he hit a hat-trick in a 6-2 beating of HAGL,[4] the Cape Verdean generally underperformed for the club, earning a red card after complaining about having a goal disallowed versus Khanh Hoa.[5] Seen as puerile by many in Vietnam, he spent prodigally on his Vietnamese girlfriend and did not send money home coupled with disappointing league showings[6] which resulted in him leaving the team by 2012.
