In 2014 Geferson was promoted to the main squad, but made no official appearances over the year.

After Fabrício's loan to Cruzeiro, Geferson was made a starter by Aguirre, and appeared in nine matches during the tournament. On 23 May 2015 he made his Série A debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Vasco da Gama.^[3]

In January 2018, Geferson signed a contract with Bulgarian elite club CSKA Sofia.^[4] He left after 5 years spent in the club and 160 matches in all tournaments.^[5]

International career

After representing Brazil at the under-17 level, Geferson was called up to the main squad on 29 May 2015 for the year's Copa América, as a replacement for the injured Marcelo,^[6]^[7] but Filipe Luís occupied Brazil's starting left-back position as they reached the quarter-finals.
