Sérgio Manuel Monteiro Semedo (born 23 February 1988) is a Cape Verdean professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club C.F. Esperança de Lagos as a midfielder.
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 while working at a supermarket to make ends meet. In the summer of 2011, he signed with Portimonense S.C. of the Segunda Liga.[2]
Semedo made his debut in the Primeira Liga in the 2012–13 season, with C.S. Marítimo,[3] 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.[4] In the following years he competed in the second division, on loan to former side Portimonense and S.C. Olhanense.[5] [6]
Semedo returned to the top flight midway through the 2014–15 campaign, signing with Gil Vicente F.C. again on loan.[7] He moved back to division two 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.[8]
In another winter transfer market move, Semedo switched to the Cypriot First Division with Apollon Limassol FC.[9] He represented a further two clubs in less than one year, FK Sūduva Marijampolė in Lithuania[10] and Leixões S.C. from the Portuguese second tier.[11]
In January 2019, Semedo almost signed with FC Dunărea Călărași, recently promoted to the Romanian Liga I,[12] but the deal eventually fell through. Safe for one year in the Cypriot Second Division, he remained in Portugal until his retirement.[13] [14]
Portuguese-born, Semedo opted to represent Cape Verde internationally through descent, his debut coming on 19 November 2014 in a 1–0 away defeat to Zambia for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[15] [16]
