José Carlos Coentrão Marafona (born 8 May 1987) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga Portugal 2 club Paços de Ferreira.

[9] In late January of the following year, however, he moved to S.C. Braga of the same league as his previous contract contained a clause that he was to be released if a bigger team showed interest in acquiring his services.

[10] He took part in 14 official matches with the latter until the end of the season, including the final of the Taça de Portugal where he saved two penalty shootout attempts against FC Porto (Héctor Herrera and Maxi Pereira) in an eventual 4–2 win (2–2 after 120 minutes).

[13] In the summer of 2022 he, fellow veteran goalkeeper Serkan Kırıntılı and compatriot Daniel Candeias were told they could leave; academy graduate Yusuf Karagöz became first choice.

[17] On 31 March 2015, at nearly 28 years of age, Marafona was called up to the Portugal national team for the first time, remaining an unused substitute as Anthony Lopes featured in goal in the 0–2 friendly defeat against Cape Verde in Estoril.
