Ewerthon Henrique de Souza (born 10 June 1981) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a centre forward or right winger. He was best known for his pace, trickery and long shots, and played for clubs in Brazil, Germany, Spain, Russia and Qatar. He made seven appearances for the Brazil national team and was selected for the 2001 Copa América and the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup, finishing as runner-up in the latter.
Three years after his retirement, The Versed wrote a report in 2017 about Ewerthon: "he was a forgotten entity on the continent, but for a while at the start of the millennium, he looked destined for the top. Sadly, as is the case with a fair number of South American migrants, he faded into footballing obscurity".[2]
