Ademir Santos (三渡洲 アデミール, Santosu Ademīru, born March 28, 1968) is a former professional football player. He was born in Brazil and later moved to Japan. He became a Japanese citizen in 1995. His son, Maito Santos, also played football professionally.
Ademir Santos: A Football Journey
Ademir Santos was born in Bahia, Brazil, on March 28, 1968. When he was 16 years old, in May 1985, he moved to Japan. He went to high school there to finish his studies.
After finishing high school, Ademir joined a football club called Yamaha Motors in 1987. This club was part of the Japan Soccer League. He played as an offensive midfielder and appeared in 30 matches for them.
In 1992, he moved to a new club, Shimizu S-Pulse, which was part of the new J1 League. At first, it was hard for him to play many games. This was because of rules about how many foreign players could be on a team.
In September 1995, Ademir became a Japanese citizen. This meant he was no longer counted as a foreign player. However, he still faced challenges, often dealing with injuries. He decided to stop playing professional football at the end of the 1996 season.
