Football career
Born in Lisbon, Basto was a graduate of hometown S.L. Benfica's youth system, and began playing professionally with its farm team, F.C. Alverca, being recalled for good in January 1998.
After some good performances, he began an abroad spell that would last six years: four at FC Girondins de Bordeaux, one 1/2 seasons at Feyenoord and six months at AS Saint-Étienne, with relative success – he only managed to be first-choice for the first. In the 2001–02 season Basto helped Girondins finish sixth in Ligue 1, with the side also qualifying for the UEFA Cup after winning the domestic league cup, defeating FC Lorient in the final with two goals from countryman Pauleta (3–0).
Basto returned to Portugal in 2006–07, signing with C.D. Nacional. He was played very rarely in Madeira however, and left for Russia's FC Shinnik Yaroslavl in the 2008 January transfer window; there, he teamed up with compatriot Ricardo Silva, and was released in 2009.
In the 2010 summer, after not being able to find a club in more than one year, Basto retired from football at the age of 32.
