Club career

Oeste

Nicknamed after boxer Acelino Freitas by his mother's neighbor, Werik Popó was rejected by a number of clubs before joining Oeste's youth setup in 2020.[1] In 2021, he moved on loan to Águia de Marabá on loan for the 2021 Campeonato Paraense,[2] and made his senior debut with the club.

Back to Oeste, Werik Popó made his first team debut for the club on 19 June 2021, replacing Léo Artur late into a 0–0 Série C home draw against Criciúma.[3] He alternated between the under-20 and first team squads, and was the top scorer of the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior with eight goals in just six matches.[4]

Definitely promoted to the main squad, Werik Popó scored his first senior goal on 19 February 2022, netting a last-minute winner in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 away win over XV de Piracicaba.[5] On 2 March, he scored a brace in a 3–1 win at Red Bull Brasil.[6]

Red Bull Bragantino

On 12 August 2022, Werik Popó signed a five-year contract with Série A side Red Bull Bragantino.[7] He made his debut in the category on 18 September, replacing injured Alerrandro in a 1–1 home draw against Goiás, but being himself substituted after 37 minutes on the field.
