At the start of the women’s under-17 team’s preparations for 2026/27, Oriana Abreu took on the role of spokesperson for a group determined to “stick together” and to “always give our best.” The 13-year-old goalkeeper said she was “Very happy” to continue “wearing on my chest a badge that has always been very special” and pointed to “discipline and concentration” as fundamental principles for a season “with difficult matches,” in which the team “wants to stay united”: “We are always together and, if any of us is feeling down, we help her get back up.”
A constant fresh start “Being back at work is like we are starting from zero, because we always get to know new teammates.”
The message for the newly arrived players “The most important thing is to give them confidence. Here we are FC Porto, we are always together and, if any of us is feeling down, we help her get back up.”
The coaching staff’s message “What stayed with me most from what the coaching staff told us was the idea that, if we make mistakes, we have to keep our heads up.”
The motto for the new season “We have to give our best. We’ve come back from vacation, now we have to be very disciplined and stay focused.”
The debut in the National Under-17 Championship “We are going to have difficult matches, but we want to always give our best and, above all, stay united.”
