Brazilian Right-Back Ezequiel, aged 32, signed a definitive contract with Figueirense until the end of the year, following his stint at ABC. He joined ABC in January 2025 and played 10 matches there in Série C, Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Potiguar, and Copa do Nordeste. Ezequiel stated that because the previous season (2024) was very good, during which he played 45 matches in Série B, he and his family opted for a project after discussing it. He mentioned that he played in Série C for the first time and that they chose a more comfortable option for his family. He added that it was not a good year for him individually, as he suffered some injuries and the club (ABC) suffered from political problems. He said that Figueirense provided an opportunity to turn things around. He is physically fit and available to coach Waguinho Dias. Ezequiel also said that the club's project of competing for titles was what most attracted his attention. He added that the structure and information from other teammates were also factors, noting that he asks around and everyone who comes to the club praises it. He stated that he had no doubts when Daniel, the director of football, contacted him.
