Biography

Mouzinho Barreto de Lima (born 26 June 2002) is an East Timorese professional footballer who plays as a forward for the Timor-Leste national team. In 2022 he played for Angkor Tiger in the same league as well.

He is considered one of the most promising footballers of East Timor as well as in all of Southeast Asia. He was one of the top scorers of the 2019 AFF U-18 Youth Championship with 6 goals, alongside Australia's Dylan Ruiz-Diaz and Indonesia's Bagus Kahfi.

Career

Born in Maliana, Mouzinho is the youngest of six siblings, a devout Catholic and very close to his family. Inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo Mouzinho aimed to emulate the Portuguese icon and set out to become the best player in Asia.

In 2020, Mouzinho was the top scorer of the Copa FFTL, scoring 14 goals in 7 matches.

Mouzinho was first scouted by Angkor Tiger Head Coach Alistair Heath after coming across the forward’s exploits during the 2022 AFF U-23 Championship and the 2021 SEA Games. Not long after, the Timorese forward then signed for the Cambodian Premier League outfit on June 1, 2022, and introduced himself to the Cambodian football fraternity by scoring for Timor-Leste against the Cambodia national football team in a friendly game one day later. The strike marked Mouzinho’s first goal for his national team but his side would eventually suffer a 2–1 defeat.

Mouzinho made his debut for the Cambodian Tigers on July 2 in a 3–3 draw against Kirivong Sok Sen Chey and would come off the bench against Phnom Penh Crown in the subsequent game. Mouzinho’s efforts were rewarded at the start of Round 3 when he bagged a brace in a match against Visakha. The following match against Kirivong, Mouzinho made his first assist to Iago Bento.
