Career[]
Born in Paracatu, Minas Gerais, Dário's father, Luiz, died when Dário was only age 14. His family moved to Brasília, where Dário would be invited to play for CR Vasco da Gama's youth team. He began playing professional football with América Futebol Clube in 1964.[2]
In 1965, Dário joined Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras. He would win the 1967 Campeonato Brasileiro with Palmeiras, making him the first player from Paracatu to win a national championship. In 1968, he moved to Mexico to play for C.F. Monterrey for six months before returning to Brazil with Fluminense Football Club.[2]
Dário won state championships in 1966 (Campeonato Paulista with Palmeiras) and 1971 (Campeonato Mineiro with América) and had brief stints with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto, Associação Atlética Caldense, Villa Nova Atlético Clube and Olaria Atlético Clube, before he finished his career with Centro de Ensino Unificado de Brasília Esporte Clube.[2][3]
Dário made his only appearance for the Brazil national team in a friendly against Uruguay on 7 September 1965.[4]
