Patrick Gilmar Sequeira Mejías (born 1 March 1999) is a Costa Rican professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ibiza and the Costa Rica national team.

Club career

Born in Limón, Sequeira was promoted to the first team of Deportivo Saprissa in June 2016.[2] In August 2017, after being only a third-choice, he moved abroad and signed a two-year loan deal with Spanish side Real Unión.[3]

Sequeira made his senior debut for Real Unión on 29 October 2017, in a 3–0 Segunda División B away loss against CD Tudelano. On 16 July 2019, after acting mainly as a backup, he signed a permanent two-year contract.[4]

On 8 September 2020, Sequeira moved to RC Celta de Vigo on loan for one year, being initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[5] Upon returning, he featured rarely for Real Unión in Primera División RFEF.

On 4 July 2022, Sequeira agreed to a three-year deal with Segunda División side CD Lugo.[6]

International career

Sequeira was part of the squad at the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup, but did not play any match. Originally set to make his debut in a group stage match against Jamaica, he suffered an ankle injury moments before the match and was replaced by Leonel Moreira.[7]

His debut came during a friendly match against South Korea in November 2022, when Sequeira came in as a substitute for Joel Campbell as Esteban Alvarado received a red card. Sequeira's first instant of action as a goalkeeper for Costa Rica was also his first goal conceded, as Alvarado's red card also meant a close free kick eventually scored by Son Heung-min.[8]
