Mateus Cardoso Francisco (born 16 December 1997), better known as Mateus Pivô, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Portuguese club AVS, on loan from Brusque.

Career

Mateus started his career as a futsal player, acting as a pivot, from which his nickname derives. On the field, he played as a winger for the youth teams of Goytacaz, Carapebus, Campos AA and Grêmio. [2]

As a professional, he played for several clubs, having started his career at Cianorte, and being champion of minor divisions with Azuriz in Paraná. Over the years he started to play as a right back, a position that made him famous for competing in the divisions of the Brazilian Championship, having played for Ferroviário,[3] São José-RS[2] and Sampaio Corrêa, which holds his federative rights.[4]

In 2024, he was loaned to Vila Nova to compete in the Campeonato Goiano,[5] and in April, he was loaned again to Brusque to compete in the 2024 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.[6][7] In 2025, Pivô was definitively acquired by Brusque.[8]
