Career


Revealed in Internacional's youth categories, Willian Ribeiro played for several clubs, winning titles at Joinville, Ypiranga and Águia Negra-MS. He also had spells in Brasil de Pelotas and São Paulo de Rio Grande.
On 4 October 2021, in the match of São Paulo vs. Guarani-VA, valid for 2021 Campeonato Gaúcho Série A2, the player attacked referee Rodrigo Crivellaro after receiving a yellow card, even kicking him in the head, leaving him unconscious in the field. Willian was accused of attempted murder in a popular jury and subsequently sentenced to 2 years and 8 months in prison. Due to Brazilian legislation, the player can serve his sentence in a semi-open regime. After the repercussions, the athlete was no longer able to practice as a professional player, even without a formal sporting ban.
In July 2022, playing an amateur match in the city of Pelotas, he was accused by Jones Belém, who was refereeing the game, of also being attacked. The forensic examination, however, was not conclusive.
