Beginning his career at the Brisbane Lions in 2000, Cupido was an unusual story, and after arriving in Australia from South Africa[citation needed], made it to the elite level of Australian rules football (the AFL).
[1] He did not play a game in 2002 due to a shoulder injury the required surgery and long rehabilitation, at what was to be a hint of his inconsistency and lack of application, Cupido was traded by the Brisbane Lions to Essendon in a deal involving Blake Caracella.
In 2003, Cupido enjoyed his best year, he booted 40 goals for the season in his small/medium forward role and was a very exciting and at times dominant player.
[6] After spending a year travelling each week up to Albury to play, Cupido decided to return to his junior club Croydon in the Eastern Football Netball League.
[8] After his success at Ouyen he coached Murray Football League club Rumbalara to the 2014 premiership while kicking 86 goals.
In 2016, he was appointed coach of Airport West but left after four games, he was cleared to Bacchus Marsh for the rest of the year.
