Vincent Nogueira (born 16 January 1988 in Besançon) is a French footballer who plays for RC Strasbourg as a midfielder.
Vincent Nogueira, who has Portuguese heritage, began his youth career at the training center of FC Sochaux. With the Sochaux youth team he won the Coupe Gambardella in 2007. Following his displays with the youth team Nogueira was promoted to the first team in 2007. He was limited by injuries for the next few seasons. During 2009/10 he had a promising start to the season as he was named best Sochaux player for August 2009. He scored his first goal in Ligue 1 the last day of the 2010/2011 in a 1-3 victory over AC Arles-Avignon. During the 2012-2013 season Nogueira scored his first double in Ligue 1 on 26 April 2013 in a 3-3 draw with Lille, scoring on two late freekicks.
Nogueira signed with Major League Soccer club Philadelphia Union on January 30, 2014. Noguiera would immediately become a critical insertion for the Union's starting lineup, starting 28 of his 29 appearances during the 2014 season. He would finish the season with two goals and three assists. The Union's 2015 season would see an additional 5 goals scored from Noguiera who continued to receive praise as a consistent performer and distributor, although he was limited during the season due to various injuries.
Midway through the 2016 season Noguiera and the Union mutually agreed to terminate his contract in June 2016 due to personal health issues. He would finish the 2016 season with the Union making 8 starts and scoring twice.
Nearly a week after departing Philadelphia, Nogueria returned to his native France and signed with Ligue 2 club RC Strasbourg Alsace for their 2016-2017 campaign.
