Douglas Esteban Sequeira Solano (Also known as El Esqueleto Sequeira) (born 23 August 1977 in San José, Costa Rica) is a retired Costa Rican football defender who last played for Saprissa.
His older brother, Alejandro Sequeira played as forward.
Sequeira started his career in Costa Rica by playing for Saprissa in 1995. He moved abroad after the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship to spend time in Europe with Feyenoord, who loaned him to then feeder club Excelsior for whom he made his debut in the Eerste Divisie against Emmen on 18 October 1997. In 1999 he signed for two years for German second division side Karlsruhe alongside compatriot Mínor Díaz, playing 24 matches, before returning to Costa Rica and Saprissa.
He was originally acquired by Major League Soccer and Real Salt Lake from Saprissa in exchange for Pablo Brenes, and was immediately sent to Chivas USA for a draft pick, and spent a year with the team. Subsequently, Sequeira ended up at Real Salt Lake but was waived following the 2006 season.
In December 2006, he signed a three-year contract with Norwegian club Tromsø. Sequeira got a good start to his career at Tromsø, scoring the 1–0 winning goal in the 8th minute of his first official match for the club, against Vålerenga on 9 April 2007. On 30 July 2009, Sequeira played his last match for Tromsø at Alfheim Stadion. He will return to Costa Rica and Saprissa, after playing against Vålerenga on 9 August 2009.
