Career

Born in Margao, Goa, Almeida started his career with Salgaocar in both the I-League and Goa Professional League.[3][4] Due to lack of playing time, before the 2012–13 season, Almeida signed for Sporting Goa.[5] However, it would not be until the 2013–14 season when Almeida would make his debut for the club. It occurred on 23 November 2013 when Sporting Goa took on eventual champions, Bengaluru FC, at the Bangalore Football Stadium. He started the match and played the full 90 as it ended 0–0.[6]

FC Goa

After failing to get regular playing time at Sporting Goa, Almeida signed for FC Goa of the Indian Super League on 18 July 2015.[7]

On 11 March 2016, Keenan was resigned by FC Goa for 2016 Indian Super League season. He played 7 times for the club in the season but could not help his team qualify for the semi-finals.

Churchill Brothers (loan)

He was signed on loan by the newly re-instated I-League club Churchill Brothers for the 2016-17 I-League season. He would make 17 appearances in the league for his team as they finish a respectable 6th.

International

After being a regular for Sporting Goa during the 2013–14 I-League season, Almeida was selected for the India U23 side that would participate at the 2014 Asian Games in South Korea.[8]
