Club career

Born in Luanda, Campos started his career with local Atlético Petróleos de Luanda, where he won five Girabola championships in only six years. Subsequently he caught the eye of Portuguese top division club S.L. Benfica, who signed him for the 1988–89 season.

31 of Campos' league appearances with them came in that first year – 19 starts – and he added three goals to help his team to the domestic title. He continued competing in the country in the following three years, with C.F. Estrela da Amadora, S.C. Braga and Sport Benfica e Castelo Branco, the latter club in the second level.

Until his retirement, in 1998 at the age of 36, Campos alternated between Portugal and Indonesia. In the latter nation, he shared teams at Gelora Dewata with former Benfica teammate Vata.

International career

Campos represented Angola during eight years, making his debut in 1988. He appeared in six 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches, and was part of the squad at the 1996 African Cup of Nations.
