Club career

[edit]

Born in Lisbon, Dias joined C.F. Os Belenenses' youth system in 2014, aged 17. On 14 August 2016 he made his Primeira Liga debut, starting and playing 56 minutes in a 2–0 away loss against Vitória de Setúbal.[3]

Dias scored his first league goal on 24 September 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute and closing the 4–1 away win over C.D. Feirense.[4] His second arrived the following 9 January, in a 1–1 home draw with Boavista FC.[5] The previous November, he had renewed his contract until 2022 with a €15 million buyout clause.[2]

On 6 July 2018, Dias was loaned from B-SAD to S.L. Benfica B for one season.[6] His maiden appearance in the LigaPro took place on 11 August, when he started in the 2–1 home defeat of Leixões SC.[7] His first goal arrived on 27 October, helping the hosts beat S.C. Covilhã 3–2.[8]

Dias signed with G.D. Chaves still in the second tier in January 2020.[9] He scored his only goal for the club on 23 September of that year, in a 4–3 victory at Benfica B.[10]

On 14 July 2021, Dias agreed to a deal at Doxa Katokopias FC in the Cypriot First Division.[11] He returned to Portugal and its second division in summer 2023, on a contract at S.C.U. Torreense.[12]

Dias went back abroad subsequently, having spells at Azerbaijan's Araz-Naxçıvan PFK[13] and Angola's Atlético Petróleos de Luanda.[14] With the latter, he participated in the 2025–26 CAF Champions League.[15]

Ahead of the 2026–27 season, joined Armenian Premier League side FC Ararat-Armenia.[16]
