Carlos Francisco Portinho, also known as Portinho (born 2 July 1973), is a Brazilian politician and lawyer. In 2018, he was elected first substitute for senator in Rio de Janeiro.[1]

Portinho took office in the Senate on 3 November 2020 as Senator for Rio de Janeiro,[2] due to the passing of Arolde de Oliveira, at the age of 83, victim of COVID-19, who had organ failure caused by the disease.[3]

In the public service, Portinho had served as Municipal Secretary of Housing during Eduardo Paes administration in Rio de Janeiro,[4] State Secretary of Environment in the Luiz Fernando Pezão administration and Municipal Subsecretary of Housing in Marcelo Crivella administration.[5]

In the private sector, as lawyer specialized in sports law, Portinho was juridical Vice President of Flamengo.[6]

As a senator representing Rio de Janeiro, Portinho notably reported Bill 14193/2021 to the Senate, which eventually saw the creation of the Sociedade Anônima do Futebol public limited company model for football clubs.[7]
