Player Profile
Miguel Figueira Damasceno is a dynamic Brazilian central midfielder renowned for his creative vision, terrific long-range strikes, and immense work rate. Following a phenomenal season where he claimed the ISL Golden Ball, he has made a sensational cross-city switch to don the Green and Maroon for Mohun Bagan.
Early Career & Development
Born on April 22, 2000, in Santana, Amapá, Brazil, Figueira honed his craft on dirt fields before joining the rigorous youth academy of Goiás EC. He quickly rose through their ranks, transforming his natural flair into professional tenacity and earning his senior debut in Brazil's top-flight Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in September 2019.
Professional Journey
After making over 50 appearances for Goiás, he embarked on an Asian adventure in 2022 by joining Bashundhara Kings. His impact in Bangladesh was instant—he captained the side, scored 30 goals, and led them to massive domestic dominance over three seasons. He arrived in Indian football in 2025, signing for East Bengal FC.
Breakthrough & Success
Figueira's 2025/26 campaign was historic. He dominated the midfield engine room, picking up the ISL Golden Ball and a league title with his former club. Recognizing his elite game-changing abilities, Mohun Bagan moved swiftly in the summer of 2026 to secure his signature, securing one of the league's most lethal playmakers.

A physically imposing yet technically gifted left-footed operator, Figueira dictates the tempo from central midfield. He thrives on breaking the lines with incisive forward passes, unleashing powerful shots from outside the box, and covering defensive transitions with robust tackling.
