Jordão da Encarnação Tackey Diogo (born 12 November 1985) is a São Toméan professional footballer who plays for Greek club PAE Kerkyra as a left back or a left midfielder.

Club career

Born in Lisbon of São Tomé and Príncipe descent,[1] Diogo made his senior debuts in 2005 with A.D. Carregado in the fourth division, on loan from F.C. Alverca. After one season he moved to England, going on to play semi-professional football in the country with Chelmsford City, Lewes and Aveley.

In 2008, Diogo had his first top flight experience, joining Iceland's KR Reykjavík. He was part of the squad that won the national championship in 2011, but only appeared in two league games, and also spent two seasons on loan to Greek club Panserraikos FC,[2] where he was sidelined for two months with a knee injury contracted in early November 2010.[3]

On 23 August 2012, already as a free agent, Diogo signed for three years with Panachaiki F.C. in the Greek second division.[4]

International career

In October 2015, Diogo was called up by São Tomé and Príncipe for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia.[5] He made his debut on the 11th, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–3 away loss.
