Famalicão midfielder eyed by Sporting banned, misses Alvalade trip | OneFootball

Mathias de Amorim, Famalicão’s midfielder, has been handed a two-match suspension by the Disciplinary Council, after being sent off in the match against Gil Vicente. The decision makes him a definite absence for Hugo Oliveira’s team’s upcoming fixtures, namely against AVS SAD and Sporting.

The red card resulted from a harsh tackle in the first half of the match in Barcelos (a 5-0 defeat) which saw the young player sent off and now leaves a significant gap in the Minho side’s midfield, given that the footballer—who is wanted by Sporting—is a regular starter.

In addition to the suspension, the player will have to pay a fine of 1,122 euros, an amount that adds to the punishment. The absence of the Portuguese U21 international, who has started almost every game this season, forces the Famalicão coach to look for alternatives to strengthen the midfield.

Mathias de Amorim is one of the names on Sporting’s list of potential signings. As our newspaper previously revealed, exclusively, the green and white management have the 21-year-old midfielder highly rated for Rui Borges’ midfield Rui Borges (Find out more HERE).

In the 2025/26 sports season, wearing Famalicão’s shirt, Mathias de Amorim – valued at 6 million euros – played 22 matches: 19 in Liga Portugal Betclic and three in the Portuguese Cup. In total, he played 1,702 minutes, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
