Club career

Born in Aveiro, Erivaldo finished his formative years at S.C. Braga.[2] He spent his first three seasons as a senior with their reserves in the Segunda Liga, scoring his first goal there on 2 November 2013 in a 2–4 home loss against S.C. Beira-Mar.[3]

Erivaldo played his first match in the Primeira Liga with the first team on 30 March 2014, coming on as a late substitute in the 0–1 home defeat to S.L. Benfica.[4][5][6] After his release, and save for a brief spell in the Angolan Girabola with C.R.D. Libolo, he competed in the Portuguese second division with C.D. Feirense, C.D. Aves,[7] Académico de Viseu F.C. and Leixões SC.[8]

Erivaldo returned to the top tier in the summer of 2019, with C.S. Marítimo.[9] He scored his only goal in the league on 25 July 2020 to close a 3–3 home draw with F.C. Famalicão (the last matchday), his 95th-minute strike denying the opposition qualification to the UEFA Europa League.[10]

In the following years, Erivaldo played abroad, with PFC Beroe Stara Zagora in the First Professional Football League (Bulgaria)[11] and FC Taraz in the Kazakhstan Premier League.[12] He rejoined Leixões on 31 January 2022.[13]

International career

Erivaldo earned one cap for Portugal at under-20 level, scoring in a 2–0 friendly win over Slovakia in Marinha Grande.[14]
