Almami Moreira

Boavista

Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Moreira reached Boavista's youth ranks in 1994, but started out professionally with northern neighbours Gondomar and Gil Vicente, on loan. He returned in 1999 and went on to have relative impact in the first team, being mainly used as a substitute and being part of the squad as the club won the Primeira Liga in his last year, although he did not appear in any matches whatsoever due to a contract dispute.

Belgium and Russia

With the start of the new millennium Moreira moved to Standard Liège, where he quickly became a fan favourite, going on to spend five years in Belgium, a loan to Hamburger SV in 2004–05 notwithstanding. In August 2006, he joined Russia's Dynamo Moscow, a club that was signing a large number of Portuguese and Portugal-based players at the time. Unsettled as the vast majority of those, he returned to his country of adoption in January, as lowly Aves battled to avoid relegation from the top level, which eventually did not happen.

Partizan

On 5 July 2007, Moreira signed a two-year contract with FK Partizan in Serbia, being handed the #10 shirt whilst also becoming the first Portuguese player to represent the club. Very quickly he became the leading player of the team with which he managed to win two Doubles in a row, which happened for the first time in the history of the club. He made his competitive debut on 19 July in a match against HŠK Zrinjski Mostar, and scored his first official goal…

Moreira played for Portugal under-21s on 12 occasions in the late 1990s, and in 2002 he was part of the national B-team that won the Vale do Tejo summer tournament. In 2010, with the increasing development and professionalization of football in Guinea-Bissau, he decided to represent his country of birth at the senior level, earning his first cap in October of that year at the age of 32.

His son Diego is also a professional footballer.
