Roberto Roger Correia (born 21 March 1995), commonly known as Formiga, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Portuguesa as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Born in Araçatuba, São Paulo, Formiga began his career on Portuguesa. On 13 January 2015, after appearing in the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he was promoted to the main squad.[1]

After being left out of the 28-man list for the year's Campeonato Paulista, Formiga made his professional debut on 23 April, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Marcelinho in a 1–1 Copa do Brasil away draw against Ituano, but being replaced by Bruno Piñatares after only five minutes due to an injury.[2]
