Fatumata Sissé strengthens FC Porto’s attack

FC Porto have secured the signing of Fatumata Sissé, a forward who arrives from Marítimo after standing out as one of the breakthrough players of the latest edition of the Women’s Primeira Liga.

Last season, the Guinea-Bissau player featured in 26 matches, scoring nine goals and providing two assists. Speaking to the club’s official platforms, the striker expressed her delight at joining what she considers a dream club:

“I’m very happy to be at FC Porto, it’s a very big club. I hope I can count on the support of the fans and I will give my all for them. Every player would like to play here. I was very happy to be able to take this step, I wasn’t expecting it. I really admire FC Porto, it’s going to be very good to play here”.

The Dragons’ new signing also highlighted the attitude she brings onto the pitch:

“When I’m on the pitch, it’s not to joke around. It’s to play football. Outside the four lines I like to have fun, but during the game I’m always focused. I like scoring goals and when I can’t, I get sad. I’m a quick player who has already built up some experience in domestic football and in Liga BPI. Football in Portugal is very different from football in Guinea-Bissau; here you have to know how to pass the ball and then immediately run into space, you have to understand the game”.

Fatumata Sissé is another new face in Daniel Chaves’ squad, joining Ana Teles, Beatriz Carvalho and Letícia Almeida as FC Porto prepare for their debut in the top tier of Portuguese women’s football.
