Renan Bardini Bressan (Belarusian: Рэнан Бардзіні Брэссан; born 3 November 1988) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.[1] Born in Brazil, he played for the Belarus national team.
Born in Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Bressan began his career at hometown club Clube Atlético Tubarão. In April 2007 he moved abroad for the first time, joining Belarusian FC Gomel.

In late November 2012, Russian Premier League club Alania Vladikavkaz acquired the services of Bressan.[6] In October 2013, Bressan unilaterally terminated the contract because of gross violations of financial terms of the agreement by the club.[7]
On 15 January 2014, Bressan signed a two-year contract with FK Aktobe,[8] but less than a month later his contract was mutually terminated on 7 February. Bressan went on to sign a two-year contract with FC Astana on the 10th,[9] but was released from his contract on 12 July after only 7 games for the club.
