Jorge Sammir Cruz Campos (born April 23, 1987), commonly known as Sammir, is a Croatian footballer who plays for Dinamo Zagreb as an attacking midfielder. Although he was born and raised in Brazil, he has been capped for the Croatia national football team and was selected for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Born in Itabuna, Bahia, Sammir joined Atlético Paranaense's youth setup in 2001, aged 14, after a brief period at Atlético Mineiro. He was promoted to the first-team in February 2004, but failed to make any appearances for the Brazilian club and was subsequently loaned out to Ferroviária.
In December 2005 Sammir joined Paulista also in a temporary deal. After struggling to find his place, he returned to Furacão in April 2006, and was released in August.
In September 2006 Sammir joined Venda Nova, a businessman club, being immediately loaned out to São Caetano. He appeared regularly for the side during his two-month spell.
On 6 November 2006 Sammir joined Dinamo Zagreb on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut for the club on 17 March 2007 in a league match against Rijeka.
At the end of the season, Sammir had made eleven league appearances for the club and scored against Slaven Belupo. He also made four appearances in the 2006–07 Croatian Cup. In his first season with the club, Sammir had already won the league and cup title, which was the first of the clubs three consecutive doubles they won from 2007 to 2009.
