Odysseu Guy Ramos (born 16 August 1985) is a former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. Born in the Netherlands, he represented the Cape Verde national team at international level.

Career

Born in Rotterdam, Ramos has played club football for FC Dordrecht and RKC Waalwijk,[2] before he signed with Roda JC Kerkrade from July 2013.[3]

Despite being born in the Netherlands, Ramos qualifies for Cape Verde through parentage and received his first national team call-up in May 2008.[4] He made his international debut in a friendly match against Luxembourg on 27 May 2008.[citation needed] He was named in the Cape Verde squad for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations,[5] and spoke about his confidence in the team before the tournament began.[6] In 2014 Ramos sexually assaulted Aron Jóhannsson of AZ Alkmaar during a game.[7][8][9]

After a knee injury curtailed his career, Ramos spent two years as a free agent and spent time at the Team VVCS training camp.[10] He signed for Chabab Rif Al Hoceima of the Botola in Morocco in July 2018.[11]
