Alberto João Ferreira Louzeiro (born 22 November 1982 in Santiago do Cacém) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for União Desportiva Recreativa Sambrasense as a defensive midfielder.
In his first decade as a senior, Louzeiro played almost exclusively in the third division in his country, mainly representing Louletano D.C. and S.C. Olhanense. The sole exception to this was in the 2002âÂÂ03 season, when he appeared in one game in the second level for another side in Algarve, S.C. Farense (25 minutes against S.C. Salgueiros, 0âÂÂ2 away loss).
In late January 2012, aged nearly 30, Louzeiro moved abroad for the first time, signing for Aris Limassol F.C. in Cyprus. He made his First Division debut in a 0âÂÂ1 home defeat to APOEL FC on the 21st, coming on as a substitute for Duà ¡an Kerkez; after nine starts, his contract was terminated at the end of the campaign â which ended in relegation â by mutual consent.
Louzeiro joined Bulgaria's PFC Beroe Stara Zagora on 21 May 2012, on a two-year deal.
