Club career

Born in Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso, Ivonei joined Santos' youth setup in 2013,[2] from Vila Aurora.[3] On 2 October 2018, he signed his first professional contract with the club, until 2021.[4]

In June 2020, after the COVID-19 pandemic, Ivonei was promoted to the main squad by manager Jesualdo Ferreira.[5] He made his professional – and Série A – debut on 13 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Alison in a 2–0 away loss against Internacional.[6]

Ivonei made his Copa Libertadores debut on 1 October 2020, replacing Jobson in a 3–2 away win against Club Olimpia.[7] On 23 October, he renewed his contract with the club until July 2025.[8]

Ivonei scored his first professional goal on 14 November 2020, netting the opener in a 2–0 home win against Internacional; it was also his first career start.[9] He subsequently featured rarely during the 2021 season before being demoted back to the under-20 squad in March 2022.[10]

Back to the main squad for the 2023 season, Ivonei featured rarely before being separated from the first team squad by new head coach Paulo Turra on 4 July 2023.[11] Eight days later, he was loaned to Série B side Botafogo-SP for the remainder of the year.[12]

International career

On 27 October 2017, Ivonei was called up to Brazil under-15 football team for the 2017 South American U-15 Championship in Argentina.[13] He scored one goal during the competition, in a 3–1 home defeat of Venezuela, as his side finished second.

Personal life

Ivonei's father Nei was also a footballer, who notably represented Vila Aurora.[2]
