Romário Pereira Sipião (born 10 August 1985), commonly known as Romário or Romarinho, is a Brazilian and Sweden footballer who plays for Kalmar FF as a midfielder.[1][2]
Romário scored his first goal for GAIS against Helsingborgs IF in October 2010, a crucial goal in the fight for the title, since the goal ultimately cost Helsingborg three points against title rivals Malmö FF. Romário is famous for good passing and ball handling skills, but can sometimes be hot-headed and receive red cards, seemingly from nowhere.[3][4] In early 2019 he prolonged his contract with Kalmar FF for another 4.5 years.[5] After the 2019 season he has played 185 matches in Allsvenskan for Kalmar FF, this puts him in seventh place of all time among KFF-players in the Swedish top-flight.[6]
