Paulo Mazoti
Brazilian footballer
Paulo Mazoti Azevedo (born 11 July 2000) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Taubaté.
Career
Born in Ribeirão Pires, São Paulo, Mazoti joined Santos' youth setup in 2011, aged ten. On 17 October 2017, he signed his first professional contract with the club, until September 2020.
On 21 September 2020, after being used in the under-20 and under-23 squads during the year, Mazoti renewed his contract with Peixe until December 2021. He was promoted to the first team for the 2021 season, and further extended his link for another year on 9 August of that year, despite being a fourth-choice behind João Paulo, John and Diógenes.
On 15 September 2022, Mazoti again renewed his contract with Santos until the end of 2024. Still a fourth-choice behind João Paulo, Vladimir and Diógenes in the club's first-ever relegation, he was one of the several players deemed surplus to requirements for the 2024 campaign.
On 24 July 2024, Mazoti was loaned to São Caetano for the year's Copa Paulista. Back from loan after failing to make an appearance, he rescinded his contract on 17 October.
On 28 January 2025, Mazoti signed for Taubaté.

Why this record matters
The phrase “brazilian footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 4, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q133500313. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2000, 2011, 2017 and 2020.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
