His impressive show of skills and stamina is not just limited to his club, as he has also had the honour of representing his native national team, Guinea-Bissau.

In the current season, 2025 - 2026, Djú has maintained his striking precision, having already scored 12 goals in league matches across his 12 first team appearances.
His strength and prowess were further exhibited on an international stage during the World Cup Qualifiers Africa 2024 - 2026 for Guinea-Bissau.
