Alain Ribeiro de Aguiar Miranda (born 8 July 1997) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Segunda División club CE Sabadell FC.

Career

Born in Sopela, Biscay, Basque Country, Ribeiro represented Arenas Club de Getxo and Danok Bat CF as a youth before joining the structure of SD Eibar in 2016, being assigned to farm team CD Vitoria. On 22 March 2018, he renewed his contract with the club until 2021.[1]

On 12 June 2020, after a one-year loan spell at Segunda División B side SD Leioa, Ribeiro terminated his link with the Armeros,[2] and joined fellow division three side Barakaldo CF on 4 August.[3] On 18 June 2021, he agreed to a deal with CD Tudelano of the newly-established Primera División RFEF.[4]

On 25 June 2022, after suffering relegation, Ribeiro moved to SD Logroñés also in the third tier,[5] but was unable to establish himself as a regular starter. On 4 July 2023, he was announced at Segunda Federación side CD Numancia.[6]

On 28 June 2025, after two seasons missing out promotion in the play-offs, Ribeiro returned to the third division after signing for Pontevedra CF.[7] On 1 July 2026, he agreed to a two-year deal with CE Sabadell FC, newly-promoted to Segunda División.[8]

Personal life

Ribeiro's father Armando and his younger brother Iban are also footballers.[9] The former played as a goalkeeper and notably represented Cádiz CF, while the latter is a forward who was also groomed at Danok Bat.
