At a crucial stage at Benfica, João Rego has reason to smile | OneFootball

was one of the players called up by Oceano Cruz to represent Portugal at the Toulon Tournament, an international Under-20 competition that kicks off next May 31. The young Benfica winger has once again earned the trust of the National Team, at a particularly important stage of his career.

The Eagles' number 84 is among the 23 players selected by the national coach, alongside other Club players, such as Martim Ferreira, Tiago Freitas and Tiago Parente. Also worth highlighting in the squad is Mateus Mané, a winger who has recently been gaining ground at Wolverhampton.

Portugal will begin preparations next May 26, between Cidade do Futebol and Toulon. In the group stage, the team will face Japan, Ivory Coast, Venezuela and Canada, before finding out their possible opponents in the later stages of the competition.

It should also be noted that João Rego is currently going through a decisive moment at Benfica. Despite having already made 28 appearances for the first team over the last three seasons and having renewed his contract until 2030, the young winger is on his way out of Luz, although the structure of the deal has not yet been defined.

. Even so, João Rego continues to be seen as a player with great potential, which is why Benfica recently protected the player with a high release clause, at a time when he was close to joining PAOK in the last winter transfer window.
