Career

Nicknamed after his hometown, Passira (in the state of Pernambuco), Daniel played for Vitória das Tabocas and Central as a youth, but after receiving little first team opportunities at the latter, he opted to leave at the age of 19. He then went on to play amateur football while working in farms, before being invited to play in the Campeonato Pernambucano Série A2 for Centro Limoeirense.

After impressing with Centro by scoring seven goals in 12 appearances, Daniel Passira moved to Salgueiro for the 2019 season. Unable to establish himself as a regular starter for the club, he served loan stints at Mixto, Caucaia and Guarany de Sobral.

On 7 October 2021, Daniel Passira was announced at Treze, but did not feature in any matches, and signed with URT on 2 December. After nine goalless matches, he moved to Pacajus in the Série D.

After being Pacajus' top scorer with six goals, Daniel Passira agreed to a contract with Série C side Campinense on 4 July 2022, but the deal fell through three days later, as he already played for two clubs in national competitions during the season. Back to Pacajus, he helped the side to win the year's Copa Fares Lopes before being announced at Campinense on 12 November.

On 10 March 2023, Daniel Passira moved to Nacional-AM, but featured rarely and signed for Maranhão in April. On 11 February of the following year, he left the latter club to join Bolivian Primera División side San Antonio Bulo Bulo, managed by compatriot Thiago Leitão.

On 11 January 2025, Passira joined V.League 1 side Hanoi FC.
