Leandro Silva bolsters the futsal squad | OneFootball

FC Porto’s futsal team, which will compete in the National Third Division Championship in 2026/27, already has six confirmed players. After Cardinal, Tiaguinho, Tiago Correia, Samuel Silva and Tiago Velho, Leandro Silva is the latest player confirmed for the squad coached by André Pereira next season.

Born in Gondomar, the 19-year-old universal took his first steps at Ricardinho Academy before moving to Juventude Gondomar, where he played between 2015 and 2020. He then moved to Boavista FC’s under-15 team. After an initial season of adaptation at the chequered club, he stood out in 2021/22 by scoring 42 goals in 34 matches at that level.

At under-17 level, he represented Associação de Moradores da Granja for two seasons, combining both campaigns with appearances for the under-19 team. His performances opened the doors to SC Braga, where he transferred in the summer of 2024. Playing for Braga’s under-19s, he featured in 21 matches and scored five goals. At the start of 2025/26, he began wearing blue and white.

Last season, Leandro Silva captained FC Porto’s under-19s and played an important role in winning the AF Porto Division of Honour District Championship, as well as securing promotion to the Elite Division, the top tier of district futsal. Under André Pereira, with whom he will work again in the senior team, the universal played 24 matches and scored 23 goals in 2025/26.
