Joubert Araújo Martins, or simply Beto (born 7 January 1975, in Cuiabá) is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a midfielder. During his career, he played for several Brazilian clubs such as Botafogo, Grêmio, Flamengo, Fluminense and Vasco da Gama. Infamous for partying, he was nicknamed Beto Cachaça by rivals.^[1][2]

Beto made a very promising beginning to his career with Botafogo, and debut on the Brazil national team in 1995, when they won at an away homefriendly against Argentina, in Buenos Aires, 1–0. He would play for the national team on 13 occasions, and was a member of the squad that won the 1999 Copa América, in Paraguay.

Beto was on Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas when they won the 1995 Brazilian national championship, and was on Flamengo when they won the Rio de Janeiro state championship three consecutive seasons (1999 to 2001). With Flamengo, he became a fan-favourite, for his tenacity that was well demonstrated in the 2000 and 2001 finals against Vasco da Gama.
