About the player
José Martín Ribeiro arrived at FK Grobiņa in February 2026 as a free agent after leaving NK Domžale. He scored against Tukums 2000 and against Super Nova, and picked up a rating of 7.7 for his display in the Tukums match. He was also named in the starting line-up against BFC Daugavpils and against Auda, coming off in the 87th minute of the latter game.
Ribeiro was born in Donetsk and holds Ukrainian sporting nationality, a detail that stands alongside reports of his Brazilian family background. He has featured both as a defensive midfielder and further forward for Grobiņa this season. Before his move to Slovenia, he had been described in Baltic football coverage as a Harju midfielder, pointing to a spell in Estonian football, though the details of that period were not laid out in full.
His path to Grobiņa took him through Domžale, where he moved on without a transfer fee changing hands. Since arriving in Latvia, he has settled quickly into the side's midfield.
