Dirceu Wiggers de Oliveira Filho (born 5 January 1988), simply known as Dirceu, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Portuguese club U.D. Vilafranquense.

Club career Dirceu was born in Ibaiti, Paraná. A Coritiba youth graduate, he made his debut as a senior in a derby against Atlético Paranaense in 2008 Campeonato Paranaense.

On 30 December 2008 Dirceu renewed his contract with Coxa, being definitely promoted to the main squad. A defensive midfielder, he was converted into a central defender during the 2009 campaign.

After being rarely used, Dirceu was subsequently loaned to Botafogo-SP and Avaí in 2011, suffering relegation with the latter. In 2012, he represented Nova Iguaçu and América Mineiro, also in temporary deals.
