Edmilson Dove Football Profile: Clubs, Mozambique Caps and Net Worth

Edmilson Dove is a Mozambican defender and midfielder, born Edmilson Gabriel Dove on 18 July 1994. He joined Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in Iraq in August 2025 after his Kaizer Chiefs spell from 2022 to 2025, a career connection familiar to South African soccer followers.

His route makes sense to anyone who follows football across Southern Africa: establish yourself in Mozambique, earn a place in the South African game, then take that experience abroad. Five years at Cape Town City and three at Kaizer Chiefs explain his recognition beyond Mozambique. His story also needs careful bookkeeping, because career appearance totals, international caps and personal wealth answer different questions.

Who Is Edmilson Gabriel Dove?

Edmilson Gabriel Dove is a Mozambique international whose career covers defensive and midfield roles, with his senior breakthrough coming at Ferroviário de Maputo. Wikipedia gives his birthplace as Tavene in Gaza Province, Mozambique, although some statistical listings use Xai-Xai. Those competing entries should remain a stated discrepancy rather than become an invented explanation about where he grew up. His date of birth, 18 July 1994, provides the clearer identifying detail.

For readers in South Africa, the familiar reference points are Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs. For Mozambique, the longer connection is a national team career beginning in 2015. That combination puts Dove among the African footballers whose recognition comes through domestic leagues and regional internationals as well as AFCON. Readers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Uganda can place him through that Southern African pathway.

How Did Dove Reach South Africa and Iraq?

Dove’s development passed through Giral Sol FC in 2008, Clube de Gaza in 2010 and Grupo Desportivo de Tavene from 2011 to 2012. His Ferroviário de Maputo development period followed from 2013 to 2015, before the senior career entry beginning in 2015. Wikipedia records a Moçambola title in that breakthrough year. The distinction between development and senior football explains why accounts can attach different starting years to the same club.

A trial with Sporting CP in Lisbon followed in May 2016, but a trial should not be counted as a completed transfer. Dove signed for Cape Town City in January 2017 and remained until 2022, winning the MTN 8 in 2018. Wikipedia credits Dove with 83 appearances and four goals for them to 2022. No reported transfer fee is identified in the published reporting for his arrival or departure.

Dove returned to Mozambique for a short UD Songo spell in 2022, with Wikipedia listing six games. He then joined Kaizer Chiefs in August 2022, a move also dated in iDiski Times reporting. The sequence matters: his route from Cape Town City to Kaizer Chiefs included Songo in between. No reported fee is identified for either 2022 transfer, so a precise price would add confidence without evidence.

He left Kaizer Chiefs in 2025, before the move to Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya reported by FARPost on 29 August 2025. Wikipedia subsequently lists the 2025/26 Iraq Stars League among his honours. That dated move answers the ex-Chiefs search without tying his biography to a changing registration feed. No reported fee is identified for the Iraq move; use the player module above for any later club update.

What Does Dove Do on the Pitch?

Dove primarily plays in defence, with midfield experience also recorded in his career history. For a reader encountering him as a Chiefs defender, that broader background is useful context. It does not, by itself, establish a particular passing range or recovery speed. His positional flexibility is the supported starting point; detailed claims about pressing, aerial success or progressive passing would need match analysis or measurements beyond a basic appearance record.

The defining match in his early international story is the 2015 COSAFA Cup final against Namibia. Dove played the full final as Mozambique finished runners up, according to Wikipedia’s career account. That gives his debut tournament a clear destination, from a quarter final win over Malawi to involvement throughout the final. For a defender, the significance lies in being part of that tournament run, even when the match record supplies no individual scoring moment.

His club honours provide another way to follow the career without inventing a playing style. The Moçambola title came with Ferroviário in 2015, followed by Cape Town City’s MTN 8 success in 2018. At Chiefs, the Cufa Cup and Home of Legends Cup wins came in 2024. Those latter trophies belong in his record with their names intact, allowing readers to distinguish them from a Premiership title or a domestic league cup.

What Is Dove’s Mozambique Record?

Wikipedia’s international table dated 9 June 2026 lists Dove with 51 Mozambique caps and no goals. That is a dated career snapshot, rather than a claim about his total after every subsequent international. For Dove’s Mozambique record, count matches he played in, rather than occasions when he only joined the squad. When checking a newer total in the records module, retain its date so the comparison with his June 2026 figure remains meaningful.

Dove made his Mozambique debut during the 2015 COSAFA Cup, in the quarter final victory over Malawi. Mozambique reached the final against Namibia, where he played the full match and Mozambique finished runners up. He was also part of the squad that won COSAFA Cup bronze in 2024. Those results give his international career a regional thread familiar to South African supporters who follow the competition alongside Bafana Bafana.

He was named in Mozambique’s squads for the 2023 and 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Squad membership should remain distinct from tournament appearances, just as his recorded absence of international goals should remain distinct from his defensive contribution. For Super Eagles followers, or supporters of the Harambee Stars, Black Stars and Cranes, AFCON provides the wider context. His selection history places a familiar PSL player within Mozambique’s continental football story.

Edmilson Dove net worth

The published reporting identified for Dove offers no attributed net worth estimate from a named news outlet. It also provides no salary amount, endorsement payment or image rights income for the Mozambique international. Without an evidenced starting figure for Dove, conversions into rand, naira, cedis or Kenyan and Ugandan shillings would have no sound basis.

Dove’s moves between Mozambique, South Africa and Iraq establish a football career, but reveal no balance of his assets and financial commitments. A reported wage, if one became available, would cover earnings during a particular period without establishing how much wealth he had accumulated. Likewise, a fee paid between clubs for Dove’s registration would not disclose his personal assets.

A transfer market valuation of Dove would concern his estimated worth to a buying club, leaving his personal finances unanswered. No such valuation serves as a substitute for a documented wealth estimate here. Any future financial report about Dove would need an identifiable news outlet, a publication year, a currency and an explanation of how the amount was calculated. Its figure would remain an estimate unless supported by disclosed personal accounts.

How Can You Watch Dove From Across Africa?

For a Dove viewing search, begin with the team and competition: an Iraqi club fixture and a Mozambique international need separate coverage checks. His years with Cape Town City and Chiefs may explain where supporters first watched him, but those broadcasts do not establish access to his later club matches. Match the fixture module’s competition entry with the viewing information available in your country before selecting a subscription.

For Dove’s fixtures, read the kick off in WAT for Nigeria, EAT for Kenya and Uganda, SAST for South Africa, and GMT for Ghana together. Check the calendar date as well, especially for his club football outside Southern Africa. A time forwarded by another supporter needs its zone attached before it can guide your viewing plans.

Dove’s Cape Town City and Chiefs connections give South African viewers a lasting link to Mozambique internationals. AFCON and qualifying fixtures offer another route into his national team career for audiences in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Uganda. Match your broadcaster listing to the specific event and the coverage included in your package. Complete the check with the competition name, local kick off and viewing entry for your country.
