The Operário Ferroviário has officially signed the first professional contract of the 19-year-old midfielder Caio Vilela. The young player, who is in his second stint at the Ponta Grossa club, takes an important step in his career and reinforces his trajectory within the base categories of the Ghost.
Caio returned to Operário in August 2026 and has since participated in the competitions of the U-20 category, including the Copa do Brasil U-20 and the Copa U-20. The opportunity represents the continuity of a work that has begun in the lower categories of the club.

Now, at the age of 19, the athlete celebrates the confidence deposited by the club and stresses that the signing of the professional contract does not change his stance on the field.
“I am very grateful to the Worker, who opened the doors so that I could come back and play here again. Nothing changes with the contract, I will be focused and fully concerned with the competitions that we are playing,” said the player.
New stage in the career
The signing of the first professional bond represents a milestone in Caio Vilela’s trajectory. The striker has a professional contract with the Operário Ferroviário, consolidating another stage of his sports training.
The young man continues to be integrated into the competitions played by the team and seeks to take advantage of the opportunities to continue evolving with the alvinegra shirt.
The announcement also highlights the importance of the basic categories for the development of players in the Ponta Grossa and Campos Gerais football.
With the new contract, Caio Vilela officially begins his career as a professional athlete of the Fantasma, keeping the focus on the commitments of the season.
