The History of the Gem in Xerém
A prolific scorer in the youth ranks: Kelwin made his mark in Fluminense’s academy by becoming the third-highest scorer in the club’s history in the Copinha, with seven goals across three editions of the tournament.
Little room in the senior squad: His only appearance for the first team came in 2025, when he played against GV San Jose in the Copa Sudamericana, in a match where the club fielded an alternative lineup full of youngsters. After that, he was not given any further chances.
Quiet farewell: Out of the coaching staff’s recent plans, his last appearance in the Tricolor shirt was in the 2-0 defeat to Cruzeiro in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship.
Long-term deal: The forward is under contract with Fluminense until the end of 2027. The club is planning a restructuring to trim down the Under-20 squad, which should lead to more departures in the coming days.
