Patrick da Silva (born 23 October 1994) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a left back.
[1] Patrick got his international debut in the away 1–1 draw against France U19 on Stade de Auch and he scored his first U19-international goal 4 June 2013 in the 5–0 win against the Czech Republic in the UEFA Elite Round.
[4] Da Silva started the 2015–16 season with a slot among the starting-11 in a staggering 9–0 home victory against the San Marino side A.C. Juvenes/Dogana in the Europa League qualification which he crowned with scoring his first European goal.
[12] It was a relief for da Silva to focus on football and have things calm down as this allowed for him to get closer to his top level.
[20] On 25 October 2024 the KÍ confirmed that the contract has been cancelled due to his arrest on new charges for sexual crimes committed in Denmark.
[22] In March 2020, da Silva began communicating over social media with a 14-year-old female, sending sexually explicit photographs and videos on Snapchat.
After the episode, the victim's family chose to report da Silva to the police and at the same time contacted his employer, Lyngby Boldklub.
[24] In March 2021, da Silva was sentenced to 20 days probation and must, in addition to the costs of the case, pay DKK 8,000 in compensation to the victim.
