José Márcio da Costa (born 4 July 1983), commonly known as Mossoró, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Turkish club İstanbul Başakşehir F.K. as a midfielder.
His nickname stemmed for his birthplace. He spent most of his professional career in Portugal, representing mainly Braga where he appeared in 175 official games during five seasons.
Born in Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, Mossoró began his professional career at Ferroviário Atlético Clube (CE) in 1999, before moving for Santa Catarina Clube and then Paulista Futebol Clube. Shortly after, he broke into the first team, and helped to qualification for the final of the Campeonato Paulista, being defeated by Associação Desportiva São Caetano.
In 2005, Mossoró played a key role for the side as they won the Brazilian Cup. He was then transferred to Sport Club Internacional of Porto Alegre in the second half of the season, making his Série A debuts in the process.
In July 2007, Mossoró was loaned to C.S. Marítimo of Portugal. His performances, which included braces in Primeira Liga wins against Associação Naval 1º de Maio (3–0) and S.C. Braga (4–1) were impressive enough to earn him a permanent €1 million deal with the latter club, which signed the player to a four-year contract at the end of the campaign.
