Madjer

Madjer has an agility and dribbling talent in contrast to his height (194 cm). He is capable of acrobatic finishes such as volleys, over-head kicks and bicycle kicks. His skills contribute to competition in EBSL, Mundialito, and above all the Beach Soccer World Championship. At the 2005, 2006, and 2008 World Cups Madjer won the golden boot for most goals scored in the tournament, and, he also was the MVP of EBSL last season in 1999, 2006, 2008 and 2009. He retired from the sport after winning the 2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in a victory over Italy.

Madjer was born in Luanda, Angola, but moved to Portugal at a young age. He began his football career in conventional 11-a-side football and futsal before fully transitioning to beach soccer in the late 1990s. His acrobatic style, combining height (1.94 m) with exceptional agility, volley technique, overhead kicks, and bicycle kicks, quickly made him one of the most recognisable figures in the sport.
