Football career
Born in Santos, São Paulo, Bracali started playing professionally for local Paulista Futebol Clube. In 2006, he moved to Portugal and signed with C.D. Nacional in Madeira: after backing up Diego Benaglio in his first season and appearing in 14 Primeira Liga games in his second, he became the club's first-choice after the Swiss moved to VfL Wolfsburg.
From 2008 to 2011, Bracalli did not miss one single league match for Nacional. He was set to sign for fellow league side S.C. Braga in June 2011, but the deal eventually fell through.[1] The following month he replaced departed Beto as understudy at FC Porto, behind compatriot Helton.
On 13 July 2015, after two years in the Superleague Greece with Panetolikos FC, Bracalli agreed a two-year deal with F.C. Arouca.[2]
