Club career

Iago Teodoro was 13-years-old when he joined the academy of Volta Redonda, and in 2021 he joined the youth academy of Flamengo.[2] In April 2022, he signed his first professional contract with Flamengo until 2025. In 2024, he was named captain for their U20s.[3] He made his senior and professional debut with Flamengo as a substitute in a scoreless tie with Associação Atlética Portuguesa on 27 January 2024.[4] On 29 February 2024, he extended his contract with the club until 2026.[5]

On 11 January 2026, Iago scored his first goal for the Flamengo senior team when he equalized against Associação Atlética Portuguesa in the final minutes of the opening Campeonato Carioca match, resulting in a 1–1 draw.[6]

On 7 February 2026, Iago signed with Major League Soccer club Orlando City through the 2028–29 season for a reported $1.4 million fee.[7][8] Iago made his first start and his team debut on 21 February against the New York Red Bulls, conceding two goals in the first half, before being substituted during halftime as Orlando City lost 2–1.[9][10]

International career

Iago Teodoro was first called up to the Brazil U20s for a set of friendlies in August 2024.[11] He made the final Brazil U20 squad that played at the 2025 South American U-20 Championship in Venezuela.[1] In Brazil's opening match against Argentina on 24 January 2025, they were routed 6–0, but on 16 February, Brazil defeated Chile 3–0 to finish top of the final stage standings and win the tournament ahead of Argentina in second.[12][13] Iago scored his first international goal during the tournament, the second goal of a 3–2 win over Ecuador on 31 January.[14]

On 1 September, Iago received another call-up to the Brazil U20 team, this time for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile.[15] Iago represented Brazil as captain as they were defeated 2–1 by Morocco and eliminated in the group stage.[16]
