Born in Curiaú, a quilombola neighborhood in Macapá, Amapá,[1] Igor Paixão joined Coritiba's youth setup in 2014, after a trial period.[2] On 26 October 2018, he signed his first professional contract with the club.[3]

Igor Paixão was promoted to the first team in January 2019, after playing in the 2019 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.[4] He made his professional debut on 27 January, coming on as a second-half substitute for Giovanni in a 0–0 Campeonato Paranaense home draw against Toledo.[5] In April 2019, he was demoted back to the under-20 team by new manager Umberto Louzer.[4]

Igor Paixão returned to the first team on 11 June 2019, replacing Juan Alano late into a 1–0 away win over Guarani, in the 2019 Série B.[6] He featured in five further matches in the league, all of them as a substitute, as his side achieved promotion to the Série A.

Loan to Londrina

[edit]

On 19 January 2020, Igor Paixão was loaned to Série C side Londrina until the end of the season.[7] He scored on his club debut just hours later, netting a last-minute winner in a 2–1 home success over PSTC.[8]

Igor Paixão helped Tubarão in their promotion to the Série B, scoring three goals in the Série C, and returned to his parent club in January 2021.[9]

On 7 February 2022, after already scoring four goals in the first five matches of the new campaign, Igor Paixão renewed his contract until the end of 2024.[11] He made his debut in the main category of Brazilian football on 10 April, starting in a 3–0 home win over Goiás.

Igor Paixão scored his first goal in the top tier on 23 April 2022, netting his team's first in a 2–2 draw at Atlético Mineiro.
