Club Career
Dário arrived in 1996 to Portugal from local Grupo Desportivo de Maputo, signing with Académica de Coimbra. After tentative starts, he became one of the club's most important players, netting goals in the Portuguese first division at an impressive rate - in his last five full seasons in his first spell, he only scored once in single digits, and averaged 14 per campaign, always ranking high in the scoring charts.
Late into 2003, Dário earned himself a lucrative contract in the United Arab Emirates, joining Al-Jazira Club. Unsettled, he quickly returned to Portugal and Académica. In his only season in his second stint, he only netted six times, but ranked first in his team, which barely avoided top flight relegation.
Dário also played with Vitória de Guimarães and Estrela da Amadora in Portugal, with very little impact, after which he left to Cyprus with Nea Salamis Famagusta FC. In the following year, he moved countries again, successively representing in South Africa Supersport United FC and Mamelodi Sundowns FC.
In the summer of 2010, Dário was released by the Sundowns, stating he had offers from Angola and Greece. After any move failed to materialize, he returned to his country and signed for reigning Moçambola champions, Liga Muçulmana de Maputo, in late December.

“I spoke at a woman’s club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, “Well, that sounds very nice, but don’t you think it is better to be the power behind the throne?” I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.”
