Thomas Donohoe, originally from Busby, East Renfrewshire, was a Scottish immigrant in Brazil who organized the first ever football match in the history of Brazilian football. The match was a five-a-side game which took place in April 1894, six months before Charles Miller's match, previously recorded as the first in Brazil.
A dye expert, Donohoe had moved from Scotland to Brazil in 1893 to work in a textile factory in Bangu, in Rio de Janeiro.
