Lucas Urbano Dias de Lima (born 2 April 2002) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a forward for Utsikten in Superettan on loan from Fredrikstad.

Lima was born in Rio de Janeiro to two Brazilian parents who emigrated to Sweden. Lima quickly adapted to his new country, and became a youth international footballer for Sweden. He attended the academy of IFK Norrköping. [2] [3] He played briefly for Norrköping's cooperation team IF Sylvia in 2018. [1] However, in 2018 he suffered a cruciate ligament injury, which was followed by another. [2] Norrköping manager Rikard Norling stated that Lima would have played in a Big Five league had it not been for the two injuries, or at least "a considerably higher level" than the Swedish league. [4]

Lima made his Allsvenskan debut on 24 May 2021 against Elfsborg. [5] He got his breakthrough on 3 July, when he scored the winning goal at home against giants Malmö. [6] [7] Nonetheless, Lima had to spend the autumn of 2021 on loan at second-tier Östers IF. [8]

The Norwegian second-tier club Fredrikstad FK bought Lima in the summer 2022 transfer window. Lima cited the need for a "change of environment". [9] Fredrikstad struggled against higher-level teams in the 2023 pre-season, but in March 2023, Lima scored in their penultimate friendly match. He thereby ended Fredrikstad's goalless streak of 495 minutes. [10] In the summer, however he was loaned back to Superettan and Helsingborgs IF.
