Éder Militão

São Paulo

Born in Sertãozinho, Militão began playing for São Paulo youth squads in 2010. He started in the first team for the 2016 Copa Paulista, and debuted on 2 July in a 2–1 loss at Ituano; the team from the state capital was playing in the tournament for its first time, with an U20 team. He played eleven matches and scored two goals, the first being in a 4–0 home win over Juventus on 18 September that ensured qualification to the second round. Militão made his professional debut on 14 May 2017 in a 1–0 loss away to Cruzeiro, the opening match for the 2017 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He made 22 appearances over the season as the club finished in 13th place, and was sent off on 12 November towards the end of a 1–1 draw at Vasco da Gama. He contributed two goals over the campaign, starting by opening a 2–1 win at fellow strugglers Vitória on 17 September. Militão made his last appearance for the club on 5 August 2018 when the Tricolor defeated Vasco 2–1 to reach first place in the year's national tournament.

Porto

On 7 August 2018, Militão signed a five-year contract with Portuguese defending champions Porto. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 2 September, starting in a 3–0 home win over Moreirense and assisting Porto's first goal, scored by captain Héctor Herrera. Over succeeding fixtures, Militão quickly cemented himself in the starting 11 as a centre-back, forming a defensive partnership with teammate Felipe. On 28 November, Militão scored his first…

In September 2018, Militão was called up by coach Tite for Brazil's friendlies in the United States against the hosts and El Salvador after Fagner withdrew with injury. He made his debut on 11 September against the Salvadorans at FedExField, playing the full 90 minutes of a 5–0 win. In May 2019, Militão was included in Brazil's 23-man squad for the 2019 Copa América. In the final against Peru on 7 July, held at the Maracanã Stadium, he made a substitute appearance, coming on for Philippe Coutinho in the second half as his team won, 3–1. Militão was named for the 2021 Copa América, again on home soil. He started three group games, and in the last one against Ecuador in Goiânia on 27 June, he scored his first international goal to open a 1–1 draw. In the knockout rounds, as Brazil made the final, his spot next to Marquinhos was taken by Thiago Silva. On 7 November 2022, Militão was named in the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Unused in the opener against Serbia, he played at right-back in place of the injured Danilo in the 1–0 win over Switzerland in the second group game, and retained his place for the rest of the run to the quarter-finals as the recovered Danilo was placed on the left flank. With qualification already secured, he started in central defence alongside Bremer in a 1–0 loss to Cameroon in the last group game.
