Judilson Mamadu Tuncará Gomes (born 29 September 1991), known as Pelé, is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Rio Ave F.C. and the Guinea-Bissau national team.
Club career Belenenses Born in Agualva-Cacém to Bissau-Guinean parents, Pelé started his career with local C.F. Os Belenenses. He made his first-team – and Primeira Liga – debut on 11 January 2009, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Rio Ave FC.
Much more used in his first full season (seven starts, 642 minutes of action), Pelé's team would nonetheless suffer relegation, ranking second from bottom.
Italy On 4 January 2011, after having been linked to the club in September 2010, Pelé was signed by Serie A side Genoa CFC, with the deal being made effective in the summer. However, he only appeared for the under-20 reserves during his spell.
On 30 August 2011, Pelé was exchanged with A.C. Milan's Mario Sampirisi, both in a co-ownership deal. He played as an overage player (only four players born in 1991 were allowed that season) for the B-team in his first year.
