Career

[edit]

Cardozo Lucena made his debut with Rubio Ñu on 19 September 2012 in a 1–1 draw against Sportivo Luqueño.[2] He joined Libertad in 2013, and then returned to Rubio Ñu on a one-year loan in 2014. At the end of his stint at Libertad, he was excluded from the first team due to comments inciting his teammates to not sign contract extensions with the club.[3]

On 3 July 2019, Cardozo Lucena joined rival Cerro Porteño.[4] On 29 August 2023, he joined Argentine Primera División club Colón on a one-year loan with an option to join permanently.[5] After getting relegated, on 5 February 2024 his contract was mutually terminated to alleviate the club finances.[6]

Cardozo Lucena returned to Paraguay, rejoining Club Libertad on 6 February 2024, signing a one-year contract.[7]
