Yannick Semedo

Yannick Semedo is a journeyman midfielder whose career has wound through the lower reaches of Portuguese football — Beira-Mar, Salgueiros, Vilaverdense, Santa Clara, Vizela — before landing at Farense in 2025. The 30-year-old has never held down a prolonged stint at a single club, which reflects both the competitive nature of the Portuguese second tier and his role as a squad player rather than a guaranteed starter. For Cape Verde, he offers midfield cover and familiarity with the national setup, though his club-level trajectory means he is unlikely to be among the first names on the teamsheet.
