Edgar Jaime Pereira Bartolomeu (born September 14, 1976) is a former Angolan Canadian professional soccer player who played the majority of his career in North America within the USL A-League.
Bartolomeu started off playing Futsal in 1992 in Portugal with the Sporting Clube de Portugal youth team. After moving to Canada, he signed with the North York Astros of the Canadian Professional Soccer League. He made his debut on October 4, 1998 in a semi-final playoff match against the Toronto Olympians. In 1999, he signed a professional contract with the Toronto Lynx. He made his debut on May 2, 1999 in a match against the Minnesota Thunder. The following season Bartolomeu helped the Lynx finish third in the Northeastern division which clinched a playoff berth for the club for the second time in the franchise's history. In the postseason the Lynx reached the eastern conference finals, but were eliminated by the Rochester Rhinos.
The following year, Bartolomeu returned to the Canadian Professional Soccer League and signed with the newly expansion franchise the Brampton Hitmen. He made his debut for the club on July 27, 2001 in an Open Canada Cup match against St. Catharines Wolves. He featured in 11 matches for the club, but the newly franchise failed to reach the postseason by finishing eighth in the standings. In the winter of 2001, he signed with the Buffalo Blizzard in the now defunct NPSL. That same year the NPSL ceased operation and several of its remaining teams formed the Major Indoor Soccer League, but the Blizzard declined to participate and folded at that time. Edgar was then picked on the dispersal draft by the Philadelphia Kixx for the 2001/2002 Indoor season, being an important part for the team's first ever championship.
