Pedro Nezio de Araújo Lopes Ribeiro (born 13 June 1990) is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays for Västerås SK in the Swedish Superettan.

Career

Ribeiro did not feature in Orlando's first MLS game on 8 March 2015, a 1–1 home draw against fellow newcomers New York City FC.[1] His debut came five days later, away to the Houston Dynamo; he replaced Carlos Rivas in the 54th minute and twenty minutes later put pressure on Tyler Deric, leading the goalkeeper to score an own goal to give Orlando a 1–0 win. Pedro also scored in the 29th minute at Montreal and 89th minute at home against the Columbus Crew SC, both resulting in 2–2 draws.[2]

Ribeiro became a free agent on November 23, 2016.[3]

Ribeiro signed with United Soccer League side Harrisburg City Islanders on 14 April 2017.[4]

Following a season with USL side Fresno FC, Ribeiro joined Swedish Superettan side IK Frej on 18 January 2019.[5]

After one season with IK Freg, Ribeiro moved to Västerås SK on 29 November 2019, ahead of their 2020 season.[6]

Personal

Ribiero earned his U.S. green card in summer 2015.[7] This status also qualifies him as a domestic player for MLS roster purposes.
