Club career

[edit]

Semedo began his senior career in Cape Verde with GDR Celtic Praia in 2013. The following season, he moved to Portugal with GD São Roque in the Portuguese fifth division. His season there earned him a move to the Marítimo reserves on 27 August 2015, where he stayed 3 seasons in the Campeonato de Portugal.[2] He stayed in the CDP for 4 more seasons with União Madeira, Beira-Mar and Salgueiros respectively.[3] On 13 July 2022, he moved to Vilaverdense in the Liga 3, and in his debut season earned them promotion to the Liga Portugal 2.[4] He extended his contract with the club on 7 July 2023 for 3 seasons.[5] On 29 December 2023, he terminated his contract with Vilaverdense after the club failed to pay his wages.[6]

On 3 January 2024, Semedo moved to Santa Clara on a 1.5 year contract, and helped them win the 2023–24 Liga Portugal 2.[7] On 2 July 2024, he joined Vizela on a loan until 2025.[8]

Semedo debuted with the Cape Verde national team in a 1–0 friendly loss to Ecuador on 11 June 2022.[9]
