Hugo de Souza Nogueira (born 31 January 1999), known as Hugo Souza or commonly referred to as Neneca, is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Corinthians, on loan from Flamengo.
His nickname, Neneca, pays tribute to former Guarani goalkeeper Hélio Miguel. [2][3]

On 17 August 2018, Brazil national team manager Tite included Hugo in the 23-man roster for a pair of friendlies against the United States and El Salvador.[11] However, he did not feature in either match.
