Hugo Marques

Born in Fão, Esposende, Portugal to an Angolan mother and a Mozambican father, Marques played mainly lower league football in the country, joining FC Porto's youth system at the age of 16 and representing its reserves as a senior for three years. He appeared in six Segunda Liga matches for Gil Vicente F.C. in the 2007–08 season, conceding 12 goals. In 2011, Marques moved to Angola where he appeared for Kabuscorp S.C.P. and C.D. Primeiro de Agosto. He was awarded Angolan nationality shortly after. Marques returned to Portugal on 25 July 2016, signing a two-year contract with second-division club S.C. Covilhã following a period of trial. He left after only one year, however, joining S.C. Farense of the third tier. Marques played all 24 games in the 2019–20 campaign (cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic), as the side from Algarve returned to the Primeira Liga after an 18-year absence. He made his debut in the competition on 20 September 2020 when he came on as a second-half substitute for Rafael Defendi who had been sent off, in an eventual 2–0 away loss against Moreirense FC. In August 2021, the 35-year-old Marques joined South African Premiership club Cape Town City FC. Subsequently, he returned to the Girabola with Atlético Petróleos de Luanda.

Marques was selected to the Angola squad that was due to appear in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. He made no appearances in the tournament, in a group-stage elimination. On 3 December 2025, Marques was called up to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
