Geny Catamo

Maxaquene and Black Bulls

In Mozambique, he started his football training in Maxaquene, becoming a youth international for Mozambique, and then he moved on to the Black Bulls youth academy, another club from Maputo. Under a protocol with Porto, the Black Bulls' best players travelled in 2018 to play with Porto's youth team. Catamo played well, but bureaucratic problems at the beginning and different views on the transfer model with the Black Bulls prevented Catamo from moving to Porto. He also had a trial at Benfica, but he didn't stay there either. He ended up at Amora, a Portuguese club whose football SAD was owned at the time by Mozambican investors.

Amora

Catamo arrived in Portugal in 2018. His performances for Amora's junior and senior teams prompted Sporting CP to recruit Catamo in 2019.

Sporting CP

On 11 June 2019, Catamo joined the youth academy of Sporting CP from Amora in a loan deal. Catamo signed a professional contract with Sporting in September 2020 after spending the 2019–2020 season at the club's Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. He made his debut for the first team on 29 December 2021, playing the last 30 minutes of a 3-2 victory against Portimonense. After two loan spells with Vitória Guimarães and Marítimo, Catamo joined the first team again, and on 22 December 2023, he signed a new five-year contract with Sporting, with his release clause being set at €60 million. That season he made 41 appearances and scored 6 goals in all…

Catamo represented the Mozambique U20 in December 2018, scoring on his debut in the 2018 COSAFA U-20 Cup. He had previously played in the 2017 COSAFA Under-17 Championship. Catamo debuted with the senior Mozambique national football team in a 2–0 win over Mauritius on 10 September 2019, again scoring in his debut. On 28 December 2025, he converted a penalty and provided an assist in a 3–2 victory over Gabon during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, securing his nation's first ever win in the competition.

Catamo stands out above all in attack, with many duels won per game, a statistic that reflects the assertiveness of his actions. Added to this is his effective dribbling and finishing ability. Another skill he excels at is his ability to add speed to his team's play down the right.

Catamo is in a relationship with Jennifer Bule, a Mozambican YouTuber and daughter of DJ Damost.
