Sinop signed 37-year-old forward Júnior Vissosa as their first reinforcement for the 2027 season, with the veteran striker joining the club to strengthen the attacking line for the Campeonato Mato-Grossense Divisão de Acesso.
The forward, whose full name is Luís Severo Júnior, originates from Alagoas and has played for several traditional Brazilian clubs throughout his career. His resume includes stints with Grêmio, Goiás, Atlético Goianiense, Sport, and América Mineiro, alongside a spell abroad with Swiss side Chiasso.
During his time with Grêmio in 2010, Vissosa won the Campeonato Gaúcho and scored 10 goals across 26 appearances for the tricolor side. He later spent two separate stints at Goiás between 2012 and 2018, accumulating roughly 100 appearances and over 20 goals for the emerald squad.
His most prolific spell arrived at Atlético Goianiense between 2014 and 2017, where he netted 46 goals in 125 matches. He subsequently recorded 11 goals and 5 assists in 45 matches for América Mineiro in 2019.
| Club | Years Active | Appearances | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grêmio | 2010 | 26 | 10 |
| Goiás | 2012-2018 | ~100 | 20+ |
| Atlético Goianiense | 2014-2017 | 125 | 46 |
| América Mineiro | 2019 | 45 | 11 |
Between 2022 and early 2026, Vissosa represented ASA de Arapiraca, establishing himself as a club idol over four seasons. Earlier in 2026, he featured in 12 matches and scored 3 goals for Lageadense during the Campeonato Gaúcho relegation stage.
His career honors include four Campeonato Goiano titles, one Campeonato Alagoano title, and two Campeonato Brasileiro Série B titles. Sinop secured promotion to the top flight after winning the state second-division title, establishing themselves as Mato Grossense treble winners.
Head coach Rafael Santos will lead the squad for the 2027 campaign as Sinop returns to the top flight of the Campeonato Mato-Grossense after a five-year absence.
