Ceará has secured the arrival of another name to strengthen its defensive sector: goalkeeper Caíque França, a 31-year-old player developed in Corinthians/SP’s youth academy, with spells at clubs such as Ponte Preta/SP and Sport/PE, and who played for Guarani/SP in the first half of 2026.

A product of Corinthians/SP’s youth ranks, Caíque won one edition of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship and one Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior title with the São Paulo club. With the first team, which he joined in 2015, he lifted the trophies of two editions of the Campeonato Paulista (2017 and 2018) and one Brazilian Championship (2017).

After leaving his formative club, Caíque was loaned to Oeste/SP in the 2020 season. After a year as the team’s starting goalkeeper, Ceará’s new black-and-white keeper was transferred to Ponte Preta/SP, a club he represented for two seasons (2022 and 2023) and with which he made more than 90 official appearances.

Between 2024 and 2025, Caíque França played for Sport/PE, where he earned promotion to the Brazilian Championship Série A (2024) and became a two-time state champion (2024 and 2025). In 2026, Caíque França was Guarani/SP’s goalkeeper. This year, the shot-stopper played in 27 matches, split between the Campeonato Paulista, Copa do Brasil, and Brazilian Championship Série C.

Caíque signed with Ceará on a contract valid until the end of the 2026 season. The deal is a loan from Guarani/SP.
