Hedwiges Eduard Martinus Maduro (born 13 February 1985) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays for FC Groningen. Mainly a defensive midfielder he can also operate as a central defender, where he started his career at Ajax.
He spent several seasons in La Liga, mainly with Valencia, where he appeared in 113 official games and won the 2008 Spanish Cup.
A Dutch international in the 2000s, Maduro represented the country at the 2006 World Cup.
Maduro was born in Almere, Flevoland. At AFC Ajax he was voted as the Amsterdam club's brightest emerging talent in the 2003–04 season, and made his Eredivisie debuts in the following campaign, his debut in the competition coming against Roda JC on 27 February 2005 in a 2–1 away win.
In the following years Maduro started more often than not for Ajax, helping the team to two domestic cups and three Supercups. He appeared in 105 games for the club overall, scoring 11 goals.
In mid-January 2008, after helping Ajax to the third consecutive Johan Cruijff-schaal, Maduro joined La Liga side Valencia CF, in a four 1/2-year deal worth €3 million – compatriot Ronald Koeman was the team manager. His official debut came on 27 January in a 0–1 home loss against UD Almería, and he started in all 11 matches he played in his first year, but the Che could only finish tenth even though they won the Copa del Rey, with the player being an unused substitute in the final against Getafe CF (Koeman had already been fired at that point).
