[edit]

Rodrigo grew up playing casual beach soccer on Copacabana beach. He joined his first competitive club, Botafogo, in 2011, aged 18. Three years later in 2014, aged 21, Rodrgio was called up to the Brazilian national team for the first time and was subsequently picked for the 2015 World Cup squad.[4]

He particularly came to prominence in 2016, aged 23, when he won MVP awards in the Russian Superleague and Euro Winners Cup, and won the Rising Star commendation at the Beach Soccer Stars awards ceremony.[4] The next year, he inspired Brazil to their 2017 World Cup victory in the Bahamas, winning the Silver Shoe (second highest scorer) award with nine goals.[5]

In 2017, Rodrigo also joined top Russian club, Kristall. As of 2023, he has scored 251 goals in 176 games for the club in all competitions.[6] By 2026, his totals with Kristall had increased to 220 matches and 322 goals across all competitions.[7] During his tenure with Kristall, Rodrigo contributed to multiple titles, including the Euro Winners Cup in 2020 and 2021, and Russian Superleague championships in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.[8]

He cemented his place as one of the world's best players when he was named as one of the world's top three players and part of the team of the year at the 2019 Beach Soccer Stars ceremony.[4] At the 2021 World Cup, Rodrigo made his 100th appearance for Brazil in the group stage loss to Switzerland.[9]

In addition to Kristall, Rodrigo has represented other clubs in various tournaments. He played for CR Flamengo in the Americas Winners Cup in 2024, scoring 11 goals in 6 matches and earning MVP honors.[10] In 2024 and 2025, he competed for Falfala Kafr Qassem BSC in the Euro Winners Cup and World Winners Cup, amassing significant goals including 13 in each of the 2024 and 2025 Euro Winners Cups.[10] He also featured for Sportivo Luqueño in the 2025 Americas Winners Cup, scoring 9 goals in 6 matches.[10]
