Early life Cafu was perhaps destined for football greatness, as his birthdate was the same day as Brazil's 1-0 group stage defeat of England en route to their third World Cup. One of six children, Cafu was raised in the Jardim Irene favela of São Paulo. He was a mediocre student as he soon discovered his love for football and preferred playing over studying. At the tender age of seven, he was able to attend a football academy and soon moved up to the junior sides of Nacional, Portuguesa, and Itaquaquecetuba AC. He also played futsal for two years.

Club career It was during this time, however, that São Paulo youth coach Telê Santana became Cafu's mentor. He suggested that Cafu move from the midfield to wingback, a spot into which Cafu made the transition with ease despite never previously playing the position. He had soon anchored onto the first team, as São Paulo FC won back-to-back Copa Libertadores in 1992 and 1993. In 1994, he was named the South American Footballer of the Year. Cafu began the 1995 season with Brazil squad Juventude but finished in Spain with Real Zaragoza, winning the '95 Cup Winners' Cup with the latter.

After a brief stint back in Brazil with Palmeiras in 1996, Cafu returned to Europe once again the next year, this time with AS Roma, and won the Scudetto in 2001. It was during his tenure at Roma that Cafu earned the nickname Il Pendolino ("The Express Train" or "The Commuter"). Despite making the Coppa Italia final in 2003 with Roma, he moved to AC Milan after turning down a move to Japan with Yokohama F. Marinos. With the Rossoneri, he won his second career Scudetto in 2004, and played in his first UEFA Champions League final in 2005.

Despite his success with Milan, he continues to hold fond memories of his Roma years, and it was for that reason that on March 4, 2007 - the day after Milan eliminated Celtic F.C. in the first knockout round of the 2006-07 Champions League - he candidly revealed in a UEFA.com chat that he did not want Milan to be drawn against the Giallorossi in the quarterfinal round.

Passport controversy On June 12, 2006, less than 24 hours before Brazil were to begin their 2006 World Cup campaign against Croatia, Rome prosecutor Angelantonio Racanelli called for the imprisonment of Cafu, his wife Regina de Morales, and his agent for nine months following the resurfacing of a false-passport scandal that dated back to Cafu's Roma days in 2000, during which his current Milan teammate Dida, along with several other Serie A players, were caught with forged documents in their attempt to dodge regulations regarding the number of non-European players allowed on Italian club rosters. Racanelli claimed that falsified documents immunized Cafu from this rule because of Regina's Italian citizenship, which was due to her grandfather's emigration from Brazil to Italy. The very next day, however, Cafu, his wife, and agent were acquitted of all charges. “2006 World Cup†redirects here. ...

National Team Cafu is the most-capped Brazilian player of all time with 142, including a record 21 World Cup finals appearances. He won two World Cups in 1994 and 2002, and is the first player to participate in four consecutive tournaments, as well as three consecutive WC final matches. He earned his first cap in a friendly against Spain on September 12, 1990, and played sparingly for Brazil in the early 90s, making the 1994 FIFA World Cup roster as a substitute. He appeared in the final against Italy, following an injury to Jorginho in the 22nd minute. After that, Cafu was soon a regular in the starting eleven as Brazil won the Copa América in 1997 and 1999, and reached the 1998 FIFA World Cup final.

Brazil endured a rocky qualification for the 2002 tournament, during which Cafu came under heavy criticism from coach Wanderley Luxemburgo, who stripped him of the team captaincy after he was sent off in a qualifier against Paraguay. Shortly after that, though, Luxemburgo was out of a job, and replacement Luiz Felipe Scolari made Emerson his new choice for captain. However, Emerson missed the cut after he dislocated his shoulder in training, which allowed Cafu to regain the armband. After Brazil defeated Germany 2-0 in the final match, he stood on the victory podium during the postmatch celebration and, as he raised the trophy, shouted to his wife, "Regina, eu te amo!" ("Regina, I love you!").

Unfortunately, Cafu and Brazil fell short of high expectations placed on the squad four years later in 2006, as the Seleção meekly exited in the quarterfinals after a 1-0 defeat by France. Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira was criticized for featuring fading veterans, most notably the 36-year-old Cafu and 33-year-old Roberto Carlos, in the starting eleven in lieu of younger players. Cafu was one of only a few Brazil players who spoke to the press in the midst of a hailstorm of criticism from Brazilian fans and media alike following the team's return home. He nonetheless has expressed interest in participating in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, when he will be 40 years old. However, he has yet to be capped again since current coach Dunga took over for Parreira in July 2006. “2006 World Cup†redirects here. ...

Note on name Cafu is correct (as opposed to Cafú). He was given this nickname because his speed up and down the right flank was reminiscent of that of Cafuringa, a legendary Brazilian forward who played for Fluminense and Atlético Mineiro in the 1970s. He is sometimes referred to by the European media as Marcos Cafu. Fluminense Football Club is a Brazilian multimodality sportive association from Rio de Janeiro, founded on July 21, 1902. ...
Trivia - Besides his mother tongue, Portuguese, Cafu is fluent in Italian and Spanish.
- As a youth, he idolized Pelé, and as his professional career was getting underway, he became a fan of Diego Maradona.
- One of his favorite desserts is passionfruit mousse, a popular Brazilian dish that he normally tries to refrain from eating until the end of the Serie A season.
- Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said of Cafu's stamina in 2005, "If [Milan defender Paolo] Maldini plays for another five years then I am quitting, but with Cafu you never know, I think he has two hearts."
