Tomás Soares Dabó (born 20 October 1993) is a Bissau-Guinean former professional footballer who played as a right-back.

Club career

Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau,[2] Dabó finished his development at S.C. Braga. He made his professional debut with their reserves on 11 August 2012, in a 2–2 Segunda Liga away draw against S.L. Benfica B where he featured the full 90 minutes.[3]

On 26 August 2013, Dabó played his first match in the Primeira Liga, again starting in a 2–1 home win over C.F. Os Belenenses.[4] After leaving the Minho Province, he was sparingly used by fellow top-division club F.C. Arouca over two seasons.[5]

Dabó settled rarely in the following years, representing in quick succession S.C. Farense (Portuguese third tier), FC Dacia Chișinău (Moldovan Liga), FC Metaloglobus București (Romanian Liga II), FC Rieti (Italian Serie C)[6] and ŠKF Sereď (Slovak Super Liga).[7]

International career

Dabó represented Portugal at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey, appearing in the 2–2 group stage draw against South Korea[8] as the tournament ended in a round-of-16 exit.[9] In 2014, he was called by the Guinea-Bissau national team.[10]

Dabó was selected for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations by manager Baciro Candé, even though he did not have a club at the time.[11] He earned his first cap on 14 January in the group stage opener, playing the entire 1–1 draw with Gabon.[12]
