About the player
José Vitor Lima Cardoso made his professional way through Brazilian football with America Mineiro before a 2022 move took him to Bahia. He stayed there only a matter of months, moving on to Tombense at the start of 2023.
Nacional brought him to Portugal in July 2024.
At 189cm and left-footed, José Vitor offers Nacional a profile that is not always straightforward to find on the market: a big, left-sided centre-back capable of playing on either side of a defensive pairing. That combination of size and a favoured left foot has been the most consistent thread running through his career so far, more than any single moment or transfer fee, which in each of his moves has gone undisclosed.
