In the fall of 1995, Cabral attended an open tryout with the Baltimore Bays of the USISL.
He played two games for the United States national futsal team at the 2008 Fédération internationale de football association Futsal World Cup. Cabral began his career with Sadia Field Artillery and Palmeiras. In 1994, he moved to the United States to train and perhaps play with a local outdoor team
While in Florida, he saw an indoor game on television
He decided to attend a trial with the Washington Warthogs of the Continental Indoor Soccer League and gained a contract. Cabral went on to play four seasons with the Warthogs.
He impressed the Bay’s coach, Kevin Healey, enough to gain a contract. Since the Warthogs played a summer indoor season and the Bays played from November through February, this allowed Cabral to move between the two teams without conflict.
Cabral began the 1997-1998 USISL I-League season with the Bays.
In January 1998, the Bays released Cabral to allow him to sign with the Baltimore Spirit of the National Professional Soccer League as the Spirit released Jason Dieter in order to allow him to sign with the Bays. That summer the Spirit were renamed the Baltimore Blast. Cabral remained with the Blast until September 2010, when the Blast released Cabral after the team could not come to a contract agreement with him.
In November 2004, he injured his right knee, losing most of the season.
Then in February 2006, he injured his left knee, again losing most of the season. In May 2007, Cabral became an American citizen.
He immediately began to play for the United States national futsal team, including two games at the 2008 Fédération internationale de football association Futsal World Cup.
