Hugo Marques Noberto de Souza is a defender who enjoys scoring goals for the Red-Blacks. Last year, he found the net in every competition this season for the U-15s. With the club, he won the Copa Brasil Votorantim, the Cruzeiro International Cup, and was runner-up in the Copa Brasil-Japão, all U-15 tournaments. Previously, he won the Carioca Cup and the Copa Dadazinho for the U-14s.

Given his current age, Hugo has excelled on the field and is one of the promising prospects Flamengo's youth academy is closely watching. The defender also holds the Guilherme Embry U-16 Cup trophy and has been called up to the youth national teams.
