Career & Clubs

International career

Flávio was a member of the Angola national team, and was called up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, in which he scored Angola's only goal of the tournament, with a header against Iran to earn a 1–1 draw. This was Angola's only appearance at a World Cup so far, so Flávio is the only Angolan player to score at a World Cup to date. He scored three goals for Angola in 2006 African Cup of Nations in Egypt, although they went out in the second round. His goals were against Cameroon and Togo.

In the semi-final on 13 December 2006, Al Ahly faced South American champions Internacional, and Flávio played and scored an equaliser with a header in the second half, but Al Ahly eventually lost the match 1–2. After having a very unsuccessful first season with the team during which he scored only one goal in the league, and being jeered by fans at many times, most notably when he missed a penalty kick against rivals Zamalek in the African Champions League, Flávio had a very successful second season in 2006–2007, seeing him top the goalscorers chart of the Egyptian Premier League with 17 goals, a single goal ahead of international Egyptian teammate Emad Moteab. He proved to be instrumental in Al Ahly's formation in the next years, scoring many vital goals in critical moments. Generally, Flávio kept an extremely low profile and rarely appears in the media or give any press statements. Such attitude is highly appreciated by his club administration, since it agrees with the club's policies. In his last season with Al Ahly (2008–2009), Flávio managed to score Al Ahly's only goal during the Egyptian Premier League play-off against Ismaily, handing the title to Al Ahly for the fifth time in…
