Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Ribamar was raised by his mother, who worked at a supermarket.

Having scored 17 goals in 37 games and become top scorer of the "Octavio Pinto Guimaraes" tournament in 2015, he was promoted to Botafogo's first team in 2016.[2]
In early July 2016, Ribamar agreed to join the Apollon for a €2.5 million transfer fee.[3] However, the Cypriot club withdrew from the contract.[4]
