Rui Pedro dos Santos Patrício, ComM (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʁuj pɐˈtɾisju]; born 15 February 1988) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Sporting Clube de Portugal and the Portugal national team.
He spent most of his career with Sporting, making his debut with the first team at only 18 and going on to appear in more than 350 official games.
Patrício gained his first cap for Portugal in 2010, after Paulo Bento's appointment as head coach. He represented the nation at the 2014 World Cup and three European Championships, winning the 2016 edition of the latter tournament.
Born in Marrazes, Leiria, Patrício played as a striker at a young age. Reportedly, a Sporting Clube de Portugal scout was in the area and saw him play in goal, being impressed enough to sign the 12-year-old to the club's youth academy. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 19 November 2006, in a 1–0 away win against C.S. Marítimo in the tenth round: standing in for habitual club and country first-choice Ricardo, he saved a penalty kick 15 minutes before the end of the game.
