FC Porto can seal a national clean sweep in the youth ranks this Sunday | OneFootball

FC Porto can secure, on Sunday morning, a clean sweep of national titles across all age groups, something that has not happened since 1997/98 (the first time dates back to 1985/86).

After winning the senior, under-19 and under-17 championships, the Dragons’ under-15 side play in Alverca do Ribatejo at 11:30 a.m., knowing that a win is enough to secure another trophy in youth football.

“We will look at where the team started and where it finished, as well as the things we improved and what we can do better, but we will only take stock at the end,” assured Manuel Prata, coach of the blue-and-white youngsters, in the preview, seeking to shift the focus away from any premature celebrations.

“It is an opponent we know very well, but throughout this week we have mainly focused on ourselves and on what, week by week, we can add to our collective game and to each one of them. We are focused on getting the three points in Alverca,” the coach continued.

“It will be a tough and difficult match, but we are more than ready to face this challenge. Our goal is always to win, to claim the three points every weekend, and we are prepared to do that now. We are very strong, very united and, even though it is an away game, we are going all in,” added Porto midfielder Rodrigo Oliveira.

FC Porto lead the final stage of the national under-15 championship with 38 points, three more than rivals Sporting, who kick off half an hour earlier in Alcochete against Belenenses. If the Lions fail to beat the Restelo side, the Dragons will be crowned champions of the age group while their match against Alverca is still in progress.
