Domingues
Elias Gaspar Pelembe (born 13 November 1983 in Maputo), also known simply as Domingues, is a Mozambican footballer who plays for UD Songo and Mozambique. His position is midfielder.
Domingues, as he is nicknamed, moved to South Africa in 2007 from Desportivo Maputo. He was considered Supersport United's most influential player when they won the 2007–08 Premier Soccer League and was subsequently voted PSL Player of the Season.[citation needed]
During the summer of 2009, he was rumoured to be closing in on a move to one of Europe's bigger leagues as he had caught the eye of Tottenham Hotspur scouts following a string of impressive performers for club and national team. Eventually he was bought by big-spenders Mamelodi Sundowns where he was handed a substantial wage.
On 17 May 2017, Bidvest Wits were crowned 2016-17 Premier Soccer League Champions, following a 2–0 win over Polokwane City, beating his former club (Mamelodi Sundowns) in the title race. According to his coach, Gavin Hunt, Domingues was instrumental in that game. The win also meant he is now one of very few players to have won the Premier Soccer League title 4 times (with 3 different clubs), having also won 2 with Supersport United in 2007–08 Premier Soccer League and 2008–09 Premier Soccer League and 1 with Mamelodi Sundowns) in 2013–14 Premier Soccer League.
Furthermore, the win also meant he successfully completed a League and Cup double, since Bidvest Wits also won the MTN 8 title earlier in the season, with a 3–0 win over Mamelodi Sundowns at the Mbombela Stadium, on 1 October 2016.
He left Bidvest Wits at the end of the 2019–20 season. He joined Polokwane City in a free agent transfer in February 2021.
Domingues began his international career with Mozambique in 2004 and went on to become the nation's most capped player, earning over 120 appearances.
On 24 December 2025, at the age of 42 years, one month and six days, Domingues became the oldest-ever outfield player to make an appearance at the Africa Cup of Nations when he was introduced as a 67th-minute substitute in Mozambique's 1–0 group game loss to Ivory Coast, and second oldest overall only behind goalkeeper Essam El Hadary.
