Toronto FC

[edit]

In 2009, Camargo went on trial with Vitória de Guimarães in Portugal and was offered a contract, however, because of a FIFA regulation that would have required his parents to move to Portugal in order to be allowed to play for the club, he was unable to join the team. Instead, he returned to Canada and joined Toronto FC.[1]
