Jacques-Alaixys Romao (born 18 January 1984), commonly known as Alaixys Romao, is a French-born Togolese football midfielder, who currently plays for Olympiacos in the Greek Superleague.
He also is a regular member of the Togolese national team.
Romao started his professional career with Toulouse FC but only managed appearances for the B team in 2004–05 and was then transferred for free to Louhans-Cuiseaux in the Championnat National, the French third tier.
In the 2007–08 season, he was traded for free to Grenoble and his career took off. A solid and rugged defensive midfielder, Romao proved a valuable asset for Grenoble. His first season with the club saw him appear 30 times in Ligue 2 with 2 goals and 10 yellow cards topped with a promotion to Ligue 1.
In 2008–09, he made 37 appearances, 32 of them as a starter in Ligue 1 and managed to avoid the drop. The next season, Romao made 29 appearances for Grenoble and 2 assists. However, Grenoble was not able to avoid the drop this time and was relegated.
Romao was then signed by FC Lorient in July 2010 for a reported fee of 8,000.00 GBP. In the 2010–11 season, his first with FC Lorient, Romao made 33 appearances in Ligue 1 with a goal and 2 assists, 2 appearances in the Ligue Cup and 2 appearances in the French Cup competition with 1 goal. Romao made another 32 appearances as a starter in the 2011–12 season with a goal and an assist but also 11 yellow cards and 2 red cards.
On 31 January 2013, Romao was signed by Marseille. According to L'Équipe, the transfer fee paid to Lorient was €2 million and the duration of Romao's contract was 3.5 years. At the end of his contract in summer 2016, he was released by the club having made 127 appearances in all competitions scoring 4 goals.
On 31 August 2016, Romao joined Greek club Olympiacos signing a two-year with the option of another year.
The French-born player has featured for the French under-18 national team, but is now a member of the Togolese national team, for which he was called up to the 2006 World Cup.
