Corey Allen extends until 2027 | OneFootball

Corey Allen, who joined FC Porto at the end of November last year, has extended his contract with the club for another season, until 2027. The point guard will therefore remain part of the basketball team that will look to defend the National Championship title in 2026/27.

Born in Ypsilanti, in the U.S. state of Michigan, the 27-year-old player, who stands 1.87 meters tall, spent five seasons in U.S. college basketball (NCAA): two with the Detroit Mercy Titans and three with the Georgia State Panthers. He then began his professional career in Europe.

Before arriving in the Invicta, he played for Lithuania’s Pieno Zvaigzdes, Romania’s Arges Pitesti, and Croatia’s Cedevita Junior, the club where he spent the first half of last season.

After a quieter start to the season, Corey Allen’s performances improved as the campaign went on, earning him a prominent role in FC Porto’s run in the league playoffs. The team capped off that campaign by winning the national title, ten years after their last celebration.

In the final against Benfica, the American point guard had a decisive influence, especially in the historic fourth game, played at the Dragão Arena, which confirmed FC Porto as National Champions. Corey Allen finished that derby with 31 points, three assists, one steal, and seven three-pointers made.

The player scored more than ten points in every game of the final and will continue to wear number 10. Corey Allen joins Tanner Omlid, Childe Dundão, and Xeyrius Williams in the group of foreign players under Fernando Sá.
