Álvaro Lopes Cançado, nicknamed "Nariz" (meaning "Nose") (Uberaba, February 8, 1912 – September 19, 1984), was a Brazilian footballer who played as a defender for the Brazil national football team in the 1938 FIFA World Cup. He participated in only one match in that tournament, against Czechoslovakia. At the time, his club was Botafogo.[1]
In his final years in football, he played for Fluminense and Botafogo while studying medicine in Rio de Janeiro, retiring from the sport in 1941. After his departure from football, he focused on a career in orthopedics and contributed to the establishment of the first School of Medicine in his hometown, Uberaba, in 1954, where he later served as a faculty member.[2]
Nariz died by suicide on September 19, 1984, at the age of 72. He was survived by two sons, both of whom went on to careers in medicine.[3]
