Club career

Born in Bissau, Piqueti signed for S.C. Braga in 2011 for his last year as a junior. He went on to spend several seasons with the reserves in the Segunda Liga, making his debut in the competition on 22 August 2012 by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 away loss against C.F. Belenenses.[2]

Piqueti first appeared in the Primeira Liga with the first team on 14 March 2014, playing two minutes of the 1–1 away draw with Académica de Coimbra.[3] Again from the bench, on 5 April, he scored his first goal competitive goal for them, contributing to a 2–0 victory at S.C. Olhanense.[4]

Late into the 2015 winter transfer window, Piqueti was loaned to fellow league club Gil Vicente FC,[5] featuring rarely in a relegation-ending campaign. On 30 May 2017, he signed with C.S. Marítimo also of the top division,[6] who in turn loaned him to second-tier Académica.[7]

On 26 February 2019, Piqueti joined Prince Mohammad bin Salman League's Al-Shoulla FC from Italian amateurs S.S.D. Varese Calcio.[8]

On 29 August 2023, Piqueti joined Najran.[9]

On 14 July 2024, Piqueti joined Tuwaiq.[10]

International career

[edit]

Piqueti represented Portugal at under-20 level,[11] notably helping his adopted nation to the fourth place in the 2013 Toulon Tournament.[12] He switched allegiance to Guinea Bissau in 2015, earning his first senior cap on 8 October by replacing Cícero Semedo in the 72nd minute of the 1–1 draw in Liberia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers (4–2 aggregate defeat).

Piqueti was selected for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations by manager Baciro Candé,[13] featuring 29 minutes in the group stage opener against hosts against Gabon (1–1).[14] He scored his first goal for his country the following match, putting his team ahead in an eventual 2–1 loss to Cameroon;[15] the individual effort was described as "superb".[16]
