Sérgio Manuel Monteiro Semedo (born 23 February 1988) is a Cape Verdean professional footballer who plays for Onisilos Sotira in Cyprus as a midfielder.
Club career
Born in Lisbon, Portugal, Semedo spent one decade in the youth system of local Clube Atlético e Cultural, then played lower league or amateur football until the age of 23. In the summer of 2011, he signed with Portimonense S.C. in the second division.
Semedo made his debut in the Primeira Liga in the 2012–13 season, with C.S. Marítimo,[1] his first game in the competition occurring on 18 August 2012 by starting and playing 53 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Rio Ave FC.[2] In the following years he competed in the second level, with former side Portimonense and S.C. Olhanense.
Semedo returned to the top flight midway through the 2014–15 campaign, signing with Gil Vicente FC. He moved back to the second tier in the following summer, joining C.D. Feirense and helping them promote in his first year (30 matches, 24 starts), after which he renewed his contract.[3]
In another winter transfer market move, Semedo switched to the Cypriot First Division with Apollon Limassol.[4] He represented a further two clubs in less than one year, FK Sūduva Marijampolė in Lithuania[5] and Leixões S.C. from the Portuguese second division.[6]
In January 2019, Semedo almost signed with FC Dunărea Călărași, recently promoted to the Romanian Liga I,[7] but the deal eventually fell through.
International career
Portuguese-born, Semedo opted to represent Cape Verde internationally through descent, his debut coming on 19 November 2014 in a 0–1 away defeat to Zambia for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[8][9]
