Daymaro Salina and Gilberto Duarte, Portuguese internationals, have extended their ties with FC Porto for another season, until 2027, the club revealed this Friday. Porto were runners-up in the last three editions of the handball league.

At 38, captain Daymaro Salina is preparing to begin his 16th consecutive season wearing the dragons’ shirt. The Portuguese-Cuban pivot joined the club in 2011 from La Habana, in Cuba, the country where he was born.

During that period, he won eight national championships, three Super Cups and two Portuguese Cups. For the Portuguese national team, he took part in the 2020 and 2022 European Championships, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the 2021 World Championship.

Gilberto Duarte, for his part, is already marking a decade in the service of FC Porto at the age of 36. The left back returned last season after playing for clubs in Poland, Spain, France, Germany and Greece. Before that international spell, he wore the ‘blue and white’ shirt between 2007 and 2016, a period in which he helped the club win seven straight league titles.

Like Daymaro Salina, Gilberto Duarte, who came through at Lagoa, also represented the national team at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the 2021 World Championship and the 2022 European Championship, and also took part in the 2024 continental competition.

With 24 domestic titles to their name, FC Porto celebrated their most recent league title in 2022/23. In the following three seasons, they always finished in second place, behind Sporting, the three-time defending champions.
