Stélvio Rosa da Cruz (born 24 January 1989 in Luanda), simply Stélvio, is an Angolan professional footballer who plays for Alki Larnaca F.C. in the Cypriot First Division, as a defensive midfielder.

Club career[edit]

A product of Sporting de Braga's youth academy, Stélvio made his Portuguese first division debuts on 11 November 2007, playing 90 minutes in a 3–0 home win against Sporting Clube de Portugal.

On 4 July 2009, after two seasons in the first team with intermittent use, he was loaned to União de Leiria (freshly returned to the top flight) in a season-long loan. However, in late January 2010, he moved to native side C.D. Primeiro de Agosto, in the same predicament.

On 31 August 2011, Stélvio was released by Braga.^[1]
