Meet the Team

Technical Director - Matheus 'Matt" Da Silva

Matt was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Since moving to Newfoundland, Matt has made himself available volunteering his time in the community and the sport. He made his first appearance in Corner Brook, where he attended school and helped coach kids of all ages. Currently residing in St. John’s, he continues to make a positive impact in the soccer community.

His extensive experience in the sport ranges from playing soccer since the age of 5 and coaching all levels, from Minor to Metro/PYL and Provincial NLSA with an expertise in goal keeping. He has coached the NLSA BU13 team and both GU15 PYL and Provincial teams.

During the rare breaks that he takes from attending school at MUN and soccer, Matt enjoys hiking with friends, watching movies and reading.

We, as an Executive, strongly feel that he will truly be an asset in this community. His vision for growth and success aligns with the Association’s mission and values.
