Quick facts Personal information, Date of birth ...

He won a senior contract with Ajax Cape Town, as the club was named at the time, in 2020.[3] As the club severed ties with Ajax AFC and became Cape Town Spurs, Cupido established himself in the first team that avoided relegation to the Second Division[4] in both 2020–21 and 2022–22 and eventually contended for promotion to the Premier Division.

When Cupido scored double digits in the 2022-23 National First Division, there were rumours about joining a bigger team, whereas Cape Town Spurs would rather sell the player to Europe on a future date.[5] Transfer rumours continued after the "Urban Warriors" were promoted to the 2023-24 South African Premier Division, and were only mitigated by the Cape Town Spurs being relegated at the end of the season.

[6][7][8]

Cupido was capped for the first time in 2022, playing in a 2022 African Nations Championship qualification match against the Comoros.[9] He was later called up for the 2024 COSAFA Cup,[10] and featured in the first match against Mozambique.

One of Cupido's strengths is his top speed.[11]

In 2024, Cupido completed a move to Stellenbosch.
