In January 2016, Ferreira inked an agreement with apparel brand Billabong.
”I’m feeling very happy to be joining the team for Billabong, which for me always is the top surf brand and has the best surf teams and products in the world,” Ítalo stated. He added: ”It’ll be nice to live and learn from everyone on the team and brand.”

World Surf League
Ítalo won the world title in the 2019 World Surf League after he beat Gabriel Medina in a Final to secure a Pipe win. He became the third Brazilian to win a WSL world title, after Adriano de Souza and Gabriel Medina.
Ítalo dedicated his world title and Pipeline Masters victory to his late grandmother, who recently passed away.
”I wanted so much just to win one title. I believed in myself,” Ítalo said. ”I knew Gabriel is hard to beat, but this is my moment. Thank you, God.”

”The World Title changed things for sure, and I have more fans for sure. I have so much respect and love for the fans, and you know I miss that with the contests gone,” he told World Surf League in October 2020.
Ferreira qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games to represent Brazil.
Note – the Opening Ceremonies will now run on July 23, 2021. Tokyo organizing committee president Yoshiro Mori said: ”The schedule for the games is key to preparing for the games.”
In July 2021, Ferreira claimed Olympic surfing’s first-ever gold medal after defeating Japan’s Kanoa Igarashi 15.14 to 6.60. ”It’s one of the best days of my life,” he said. ”The dream came true.”
In July 2023, he suffered an injury to his knee. The injury is a serious setback in Ítalo’s efforts to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
