Career

Born in Santo Antônio de Jesus, Bahia, Marco Antônio joined Vitória's youth setup at the age of 12.[1] He made his first team debut on 2 May 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 Campeonato Baiano home loss to Jacuipense.[2]

On 19 January 2022, Marco Antônio renewed his contract with the Leão until December 2023, being definitely promoted to the main squad.[3] A backup option under head coach Dado Cavalcanti, he became a starter under Fabiano Soares, and scored his first senior goal on 1 May, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over Manaus.[4]

On 31 January 2023, after helping Vitória in their promotion to the Série B, Marco Antônio further extended his contract with the club until 2024.[5] However, he lost his starting spot during the year as the club achieved a second consecutive promotion.

On 17 January 2024, Marco Antônio renewed his contract with Vitória until 2025,[6] and moved on loan to Portuguesa two days later.[7]
