Club career
Early career
Born in Americana, Oscar came through the youth academy at União Barbarense and impressed from an early age. Oscar was spotted by talent scouts who took him to the state capital where he subsequently joined São Paulo in 2004 at the age of 13.
He made his professional debut on 28 August 2008, in the second leg of the first stage of the

Oscar's first season at Internacional was blighted by injury. On 23 February 2011, as an 80th-minute substitute for
Chelsea
On 16 July 2012, Chelsea agreed on a fee of R$61.575 million for Oscar.[3] (according to several media, the fee was estimated for £19 million[15] or £25 million[16][17]) On 25 July, Chelsea announced the signing of Oscar on a five-year contract.[18] On 19 August 2012, Oscar made his debut for Chelsea by coming on in the 64th minute for fellow debutant, Eden Hazard in their opening game of the 2012–13 season against Wigan Athletic.[19][20]
Oscar made his first start of the season on 19 September in Chelsea's first
Three days later, Oscar then made his first Premier League start in a 1–0 victory over Stoke City.[23] Following his good performances, Oscar became a regular starter in Roberto Di Matteo's creative midfield triumvirate with Juan Mata and Eden Hazard. He scored his third goal of the season, in the Champions League, in Chelsea's 2–1 away defeat away to Shakhtar Donetsk in Donetsk, and continued his scoring record in Europe by scoring into an open net from 40 yards out in the reverse fixture against Shakhtar at Stamford Bridge, a match which Chelsea won 3–2.[24] Oscar also scored in Europe in ultimately Chelsea's last Champions League fixture, making the score 6–1 for Chelsea against debutants Nordsjælland.[25]
After the sacking of manager Di Matteo on 21 November, interim manager
On 14 February 2013, less than a minute after coming off the bench to replace Mata, Oscar exchanged passes with Hazard before finishing past
In the first match of the 2013–14 season on 18 August, Oscar scored Chelsea's opening goal in a 2–0 win over Hull City.[31] He opened the scoring against local rivals Fulham in a 2–1 win on 21 September.[32] On 1 January 2014 Oscar put in a match-winning performance against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium, scoring one and assisting two as Chelsea won the match 0–3. However, he was booked in that match for diving.[33] Oscar scored fourth and fifth goals in Chelsea's 6–0 victory over Arsenal on 23 March, which was Arsène Wenger's 1000th match in charge of the club.[34]

Shanghai Port
On 23 December 2016, Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG officially confirmed that the club had agreed on terms with Chelsea for the transfer of Oscar, to be completed during the January transfer window for a reported £60 million.[45][46] The fee represented an Asian transfer record.[47] Oscar was reported to have signed a four-year contract with a weekly salary of £400,000,[48] equivalent to an annual salary of £20.8 million (US$26.5 million).[49] The contract placed Oscar amongst the highest paid footballers in the world, annually during his 4-year tenure with the club.[50] After signing for Shanghai SIPG, Oscar revealed that various European clubs were interested in signing him but decided to play in China as "China has incredible financial power and sometimes makes offers that players can't refuse."[51] He subsequently mentioned that he was more concerned about his family, than of his own career.[51] Furthermore, he added that after completing his contract with Shanghai SIPG, he was interested in returning to Europe as he remained motivated to play football at a high level.[51]
The Brazilian made an immediate impression for his new club, scoring on his friendly debut against Saudi Arabian side
In his second season, Oscar scored 12 goals as Shanghai won the league for the first time.[57] In January 2022, Oscar was linked with a return to Europe and a move to FC Barcelona.[57]
In March 2023, Oscar claimed that he would love to return to Chelsea one day. "Of course, it’s a dream to come back to Chelsea because everyone knows the passion that I have for this club," he told Talksport. "It’s the same passion I have for Shanghai. It’s the two clubs I have played at for a long period. I have a lot of good memories at Chelsea and I also have a lot of good memories of Shanghai. But I’m still here and I still have dreams to play for this team."[58]
International career
Youth
On 20 August 2011, Oscar scored three goals in the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup final win against Portugal,[4] becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in the FIFA U-20 World Cup final.[5] This performance was immediately compared to the 1966 hat trick by Geoff Hurst as only the second time a single player scored three goals in a World Cup final match.
2012 Olympics

Oscar was given his first senior call-up as a substitute in a 0–0 draw against
On 25 March 2013 Oscar played against Russia at Stamford Bridge with fellow Chelsea teammates David Luiz and Ramires. He wore the nation's iconic 10 number shirt.
Oscar played and started in all of Brazil's games in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup as they beat Spain 3–0 in the final to claim the trophy. He provided the assist for the second goal in the final, scored by Neymar.[67]
In the opening match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, on 12 June against Croatia in São Paulo, Oscar scored in injury time with a toe-poke from outside the box for the last goal in a 3–1 win.[68] In Brazil's record-breaking 7–1 semi-final defeat to Germany on 8 July, Oscar scored the only goal for Brazil in the 90th minute. Alongside Thiago Silva, he was one of two Brazilians included in the Team of the Tournament.[69] He also played and started every game.
Due to an injury in training, Oscar was not included in Brazil's squad for the 2015 Copa América in Chile.[70] He was last recalled to the squad in October 2016, for Brazil's 2018 World Cup qualifiers.[71]

Personal life
Oscar's father was killed in a traffic accident in 1994.[84] At the time, Oscar's mother was pregnant with his sister, Gabriela.[78] Oscar said that while growing up, he remembered little of his father and wished his dad could have watched him play football during his childhood.[78] Oscar also said he grew up in poverty and that his family had nothing.[51] Oscar attributed his footballing success to his mother Sueli, who raised three children (including Oscar) alone. She earned money by making and selling clothes in the family's hometown, as she was unable to work for a company.[78]
Oscar is married to his childhood sweetheart, Ludmila, who is a Japanese Brazilian.[85] They have been together since 2009.[86] They were married in 2011.[87][88] Oscar is a Catholic who prays before each game to relax and get confidence for the match.[89] He started taking English classes when he moved to London and became neighbors with former teammate Juan Mata and retired midfielder Giorgos Karagounis upon his arrival at the club.[90] Oscar and his wife have a daughter, Júlia, who was born in 2014, and son, Caio, who was born in 2016.[91][92][93]
