Raquel Cunha renews contract | OneFootball

After a season in which she made her debut for FC Porto’s women’s team at just 15 years of age, Raquel Cunha has renewed her contract and extended her ties with the Club, which began in the summer of 2023.

The goalkeeper took her first steps at Clube Recreativo e Cultural 1.º Maio Figueiró, in Paços de Ferreira, then moved on to Valadares Gaia before heading to Invicta in FC Porto’s debut season in women’s football.

Her strong performances in the youth teams caught the attention of Daniel Chaves, who included her at the start of the first-team’s pre-season work in August, before giving her a chance in the presentation match held at the Estádio do Dragão.

Her senior debut came on November 1, 2025, 11 days after signing the first development contract of her career and 18 days after turning 15, in a match against Oliveira do Douro in the second round of the Portuguese Cup, in which the number 99 shirt kept a clean sheet (0-25).

In addition to that match in the premier cup competition, Raquel Cunha played 11 more games in the Women’s Fourth Division for the B team, as well as another eight in the Second Division for juniors, conceding only five goals in a season in which she became National Champion with all three teams.

As a result of her strong displays in the Dragon shirt, the Porto goalkeeper was called up to the under-15 and under-16 national teams and earned 11 caps at youth level, playing an active role in six Portuguese victories.

With a season full of fond memories now complete, Raquel Cunha extends her link with FC Porto and establishes herself as one of the key figures for the present and future of blue-and-white women’s football.
