Gevaro Nepomuceno (born 10 November 1992 in Tilburg) is a Curaçaoan professional footballer who plays for Marítimo and the Curaçao national team, as a winger.
Club career
Born and raised in the Netherlands, Nepomuceno started playing football when he was 12 years old, with his friends. In the next two years, it became "something important", as he said.[1] After playing for multiple clubs in the Netherlands, Nepomuceno joined Romanian side Petrolul Ploiești during the summer of 2014, at the age of 21.[2] The manager who brought him, Cosmin Contra, revealed that they were initially scouting Patrick N'Koyi, the centre forward who was also transferred by Petrolul from the same team, Fortuna Sittard.[3] He made his debut in a UEFA Europa League qualifying phase match against Flamurtari Vlorë of Albania, also scoring for an eventual 2–0 win at home.[4] On 9 April 2015, in the Romanian League, Nepomuceno netted a late winning goal against defending champions Steaua București.[5]
International career
In September 2014, Nepomuceno was called up for the first time to the senior Curaçaoan national team, to take part at the Caribbean Cup qualification campaign. He scored his first goal on the 5th, against Grenada. Curaçao won the match 2–1.[6] On 13 November, Nepomuceno scored against Cuba, but his team lost 2–3 and eventually failed to progress to the final stage of the Caribbean Cup.
