Hugo de Souza Nogueira (born 31 January 1999), known as Hugo Souza, is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Corinthians and the Brazil national team. He is sometimes nicknamed Neneca in tribute to the late Guarani goalkeeper Hélio Miguel.[2][3]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Early career

[edit | edit source]

Hugo,[4][5] born in the city of Duque de Caxias, joined the Flamengo youth academy in 2009 at the age of ten.[6] With the youth squad he won two Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior in 2016 and 2018.

Flamengo

[edit | edit source]

On 27 September 2020, Hugo made his professional debut in a 1–1 draw between Flamengo and Palmeiras. He was selected as the Man of the Match.[7]

On 12 January 2023, Hugo Souza transferred to Vissel Kobe for a transfer fee of €1.2 million, with Flamengo retaining 50% of any future transfer. However, two days later, Hugo withdrew from the transfer, citing personal problems.[8][9]

Chaves (loan)

[edit | edit source]

On 2 July 2023, Hugo Souza moved on a one-year loan to Primeira Liga club Chaves.[10]

Corinthians

[edit | edit source]

On 26 November 2024, Hugo transferred to Corinthians on a four-year contract, for a transfer fee of €800 thousand, after a four month loan.[11][12]

International career

[edit | edit source]

On 17 August 2018, Brazil national team manager Tite included Hugo in the 23-man roster for a pair of friendlies against the United States and El Salvador.[13] However, he did not feature in either match.

On 13 December 2018, Hugo was called up to the 2019 South American U-20 Championship squad for Brazil. Despite being part of the team, he did not play in any matches during the tournament.[14]

On 26 May 2025, he returned to the Canarinho in Carlo Ancelotti's first call-up as coach of Brazil, ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualification matches against Ecuador and Paraguay.[15] He was called up again for the last qualification matches against Chile and Bolivia, but didn't play either.[16] He received his first cap in a 14 October friendly against Japan in Tokyo, which ended in a 3-2 defeat, Brazil's first ever against the Japanese. While the first two goals were attributed to mistakes committed by Fabrício Bruno, some blamed Souza for the third one, since he deflected a header by Ayase Ueda into his own net.[17][18] Coincidentally, the last time a Corinthians goalkeeper played for Brazil was also in a friendly against Japan, when Cássio came in as a substitute in November 2017.[19]
