Dário Osvaldo Dias Furtado (born 14 January 1979 in Praia), simply Dário, is a Cape Verdean footballer who plays for Sporting Clube da Praia mainly as a left defender.

Club career

Dário moved in 2000 to Portugal to play for Gil Vicente FC. He would, however, only appear in five top division games for the Barcelos club over the course of two seasons, also being loaned to A.D. Ovarense whilst on contract.

He spent the majority of his career in the country in the second level (Ovarense included), appearing regularly for F.C. Marco and F.C. Paços de Ferreira, and attaining promotion with the latter in 2005.

Shortly after that season, Dário returned to his country and his first professional team Sporting Clube da Praia, going on to play the remainder of his career with his hometown club.

International career

Dário made his debut for Cape Verde in 2004, aged 25. He played once for the national team in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification, appearing 15 minutes in a 1–2 away loss against South Africa.

In August 2009, after Cape Verde was eliminated from the 2010 World Cup, Dário was called up for friendlies with Malta and Angola,[1] scoring in the latter game (1–1 draw).[2] On 24 May, he appeared in a friendly in Covilhã with Portugal – who was preparing for the World Cup in South Africa – playing the entire match as the minnows (ranked 117th) managed a 0–0 draw.[3]
