Career
Born in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Sciencia began his career with Portuguesa, and subsequently represented Corinthians, Nacional-SP and Ibrachina before agreeing to a loan deal at Palmeiras in August 2021.[1] On 14 January 2022, after impressing with the under-17 team, his loan was renewed for a further year.[2]
In August 2022, after featuring rarely for the under-20 side of Verdão, Sciencia joined Ceará also on loan.[3] Back to Ibrachina in 2023, he returned to his first club Portuguesa in December of that year.
In May 2024, Sciencia was promoted to the first team of Lusa for the 2024 Copa Paulista, making his senior debut on 15 June of that year by coming on as a second-half substitute for Gustavo Talles in a 1–1 away draw against Juventus.[4] Initially a backup option, he became a starter after Talles left, but lost the starting spot after the arrival of Thomas Ben-Hur.
Back to the under-20s for the 2025 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior,[5] Sciencia returned to the first team shortly after.
