Suda Swarm FC Welcomes Gustavo Siqueira as new DOC
April 22, 2026
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 currently serves as Assistant Goalkeeper Director at SSA Swarm in Atlanta, where he works with players across multiple age groups and competitive levels, from youth academy prospects to USL2 athletes.
Gustavo’s coaching background also includes his time at Life University, where he led the development of goalkeepers within both the men’s and women’s programs, contributing to a nationally competitive environment.
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 excited to welcome Gustavo into this leadership role,” said Richard Ortega, President of Sudamerica Swarm FC. “His experience, professionalism, and passion for player development align perfectly with our vision as a club. We are confident he will have a tremendous impact on our players and coaches to elevate every aspect of the club.”
As Director of Coaching, Gustavo will guide the club’s technical development, support and educate our coaches, and create a stronger, more connected pathway for player growth at Sudamerica Swarm FC.
This appointment marks another important step forward in the club’s continued growth and commitment to providing a high-level, player-focused environment.
