Club career

Vasco da Gama

Evander debuted for Vasco da Gama on 5 March 2016 as an 85th-minute substitute in a Campeonato Carioca 3–1 win against Bonsucesso. [1] He scored his first professional goal on 8 November 2017 against Santos in the 33rd round of Brazilian Serie A. [2]

On 31 January 2018, Evander became the youngest Vasco da Gama's player to score twice in a Libertadores match, against Universidad de Concepción.

Midtjylland

On 27 August 2018, Vasco confirmed that Evander had been loaned out to FC Midtjylland for the 2018–19 season with a release clause of DKK18 million (around €2.4 million) for the summer of 2019. [3] [4] [5]

Evander made his debut in the Danish Superliga on 29 September 2018 as a 65th-minute substitute for Jakob Poulsen in a 5–1 home win over Hobro IK. [6] The next weekend, on 7 October, he was substituted in with 12 minutes remaining in a 3–0 win over Vendsyssel FF. [7] On 20 October, Evander scored his first goal for Midtjylland in a 4–1 away win over FC Nordsjælland. [8]

In January 2019, FC Midtjylland agreed with Vasco da Gama on a permanent transfer for Evander, agreeing on a future transfer worth a DKK 15m fee, lower than the original release clause. [9] [10] In March 2019, he won the Danish Superliga Player of the Month award. [11]

Portland Timbers

On 5 December 2022, the Portland Timbers acquired Evander in a full transfer from FC Midtjylland. Signed as a Designated Player, Evander was initially under contract through 2026 with a club option in 2027. [12] He scored his first goal for Portland on 4 March 2023 against Los Angeles FC. [13]

FC Cincinnati

On 17 February 2025, FC Cincinnati announced the acquisition of Evander via a cash-for-player trade from the Portland Timbers in exchange for $12 million and up to $150,000 in conditional performance-based incentives. Again as a Designated Player, Evander signed a contract with FC Cincinnati effective through the 2027 MLS season with a club option for 2028. [14]

International career

In March 2015, Evander helped the Brazil U17 national team win the Under-17 South American Championship, scoring three goals. [15] He also played at the 2015 FIFA Under-17 World Cup. [16]
