Sudamerica Swarm FC is proud to announce the appointment of Gustavo as the club’s new Director of Coaching, beginning in Fall 2026.

A Brazilian-born former professional goalkeeper, Gustavo brings a wealth of experience from both high-performance environments and player development pathways.

He holds a Master’s degree in Sports Health Science and a USSF C License, and continues to advance his education through U.S. Soccer’s goalkeeper development pathway.

We are confident he will have a tremendous impact on our players and coaches to elevate every aspect of the club.”
