Pedrinho

He started out in the club's own youth ranks, playing in the Sub-11 and Sub-13 teams before moving on to Inter de Bebedouro, where he reached the semi-finals of the Campeonato Paulista Sub-15. A spell at Cuiabá followed, in the Sub-20 category, giving him exposure to a wide spread of competitions: the Campeonato Matogrossense, the Copa do Brasil, the Campeonato Brasileiro, the Copinha and the Campeonato Brasileiro de Aspirantes.

In 2025 he went back to Botafogo-SP, the club where his development had begun, and worked his way into the professional setup. His first-team debut came in April 2026, in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B against São Bernardo. From there his involvement grew quickly: by August 2026 he had featured in 14 Série B matches, seven of them as a starter, and 20 in all competitions for the season. His only goal so far came against América Mineiro, and he has picked up two yellow cards along the way.

The club rewarded that progress in August 2026 by tying him down with a contract renewal running to December 2029. Botafogo-SP is based in Ribeirão Preto, and Pedrinho now shares the squad with other academy graduates and recent arrivals. He is not to be confused with the midfielder of the same nickname, Pedro Paulo de Almeida Oliveira, nor with clubmates such as Jonathan Lemos or Guilherme Madruga.
