*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Marco Paulo Rebelo Lopes (born 6 June 1976), known as Marco Paulo, is an Angolan retired footballer who played as a forward.

Club career

Marco Paulo was born in Luanda. He made his senior debuts with F.C. Alverca in the second division, as this club's was S.L. Benfica's farm team, and subsequently moved to the lower leagues where he represented three clubs, helping G.D. Estoril Praia return to the second level in 2003 with a career-best 16 goals in 35 games.

Paulo then moved abroad, where he would appear for Stade Lavallois (France, Ligue 2) and Ionikos FC (Greece). He had his only top flight experience with the latter, playing in less than one third of the league's matches and with his team ranking in last position; he retired from football in June 2007, aged 31.

International career

Marco Paulo opted to represent Angola internationally, going on to gain four caps. Three of those came during the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, against Zimbabwe (twice) and Gabon, scoring against the latter in a 2–2 away draw.
