Ivan

Ivan Quaresma da Silva (born 7 February 1997), commonly known as Ivan, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ponte Preta, whom he captains, and the Brazil national team.

Club Career

Born in Rio das Pedras, Sao Paulo, Ivan joined Ponte Preta's youth setup in 2013, from fierce rivals Guarani. He made his first team – and Serie A – debut on 11 December 2016, coming on as a late substitute for Aranha in a 2–0 home defeat of Coritiba.

Promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2017 season, Ivan was mainly a third-choice behind Aranha and Joao Carlos, as his side suffered relegation. For the 2018 campaign, he became an undisputed starter, and renewed his contract until 2023 on 4 April 2018.

International Career

In May 2019, Ivan was called up by manager Andre Jardine for Brazil under-23 squad for the 2019 Toulon Tournament. He was a starter in the competition, playing in four of the five matches as his side was crowned champions. He was also a starter at the 2020 CONMEBOL Olympic Qualifying Championship, in which Brazil finished at 2nd place and clinched a spot for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

On 16 August 2019, Ivan was called up to the full side by manager Tite, for friendlies against Colombia and Peru.
