About Gustavo “GN10” Nascimento
Nascimento enters his second season with the Club and will anchor a strong partnership with Chris Holly. The Brazilian native was named the North America FIFA Global Series champion in 2021 ending the season ranked number one in North America.
Nascimento said of re-signing for 2023 and the partnership with Holly: “I am really looking forward to the start of the new season. To welcome back Chris has been great, I am thrilled at the opportunity to play alongside him. Our styles of play complement each other and we look forward to competing for championships together starting with the FIFAe Club World Cup Qualifiers. I have enjoyed being in New York and will continue to represent this City and Club proudly.”
Gustavo said: “I was the number one player in the North America Xbox rankings in 2020 and NYCFC, in my opinion, is the number one team in North America so I feel like it fits perfectly. It’s where I am supposed to be, and I want to do well here.
“I used to live here in the City, I love New York so much and I’m planning on coming back here. I have a lot of love for the City and for the Club now too, so I want to do well not only for the Club but also for the City.”
A Brazilian native, currently based in Springfield, MO, Gustavo is widely considered as one of the top FIFA talents in North America and around the world. His proven track record includes back-to-back first place finishes at the FIFA Interactive World Cup South American Qualifiers in 2011 and 2012, which led to him finishing Top-24 in the FIFA Interactive World Cup Dubai 2012.
Gustavo added: “When I first got contacted by NYCFC, I already knew it would be a bigger and better opportunity for me, so I was really excited.
Gustavo will represent the Club in international and regional events, creating a formidable partnership to compete in FIFA’s Global Series 1v1 and 2v2 play.
