Ricardo Martins Guimarães (born 14 November 1995), commonly known as Guima, is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for G.D. Chaves.

Born in Portugal, he plays for the Mozambique national team.

Club career

Born in Aveiro to a Portuguese father and a Mozambican mother,[2] Guima spent his first five seasons as a senior in the LigaPro, starting out at U.D. Oliveirense. He played his first match in the competition on 27 August 2014, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 home loss against S.L. Benfica B.[3]

Guima signed with Sporting CP on 2 July 2016, being assigned to the reserve team.[4] One year later, he joined Académica de Coimbra of the same league on loan.[5] He scored his first goal in the second division on 11 February 2018 in a 4–0 away victory over Gil Vicente FC,[6] being sent off against his former club Oliveirense the following month.[7]

On 27 May 2019, Guima agreed to a three-year contract at ŁKS Łódź.[8] His first game in the Polish Ekstraklasa took place on 3 August, when he played the second half of the 1–2 home defeat to Lech Poznań.[9]

Guima returned to Académica and the Portuguese second tier on 7 September 2020, in a season-long loan.[10] In August 2021, he signed a permanent deal with G.D. Chaves in the same league,[11] scoring once in 20 games in his debut campaign in a promotion to the Primeira Liga via the play-offs.[12][13]

Guima made his debut in the Portuguese top flight on 7 August 2022, playing 21 minutes of the 0–1 home loss against Vitória de Guimarães.[14]

International career

Guima made his debut for the Mozambique national team on 9 September 2023, scoring in a 3–2 home win over Benin in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[15][16]
