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.

“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
