Goalkeeper developed at São Paulo unveiled by Botafogo-PB, check it out | OneFootball

On Tuesday, goalkeeper Leandro Mathias, a product of the São Paulo youth academy, was announced as the newest player for Botafogo-PB. The 21-year-old left the Tricolor club after not renewing his contract with them.

“Goalkeeper Leandro Mathias is now with Belo! With victorious stints at Tricolor Paulista and standout performances in youth national teams, he arrives to contribute in this new chapter, wearing Belo’s jersey. Welcome, Leandro Mathias!” wrote the Paraíba team on social media.

Born in Campinas (SP), Leandro took his first career steps at Amparo, but soon joined São Paulo’s under-15 team. The young player stood out in the youth categories, where he won two titles: the U-17 Supercopa do Brasil and the U-17 Copa do Brasil.

Leandro Mathias was also called up to the Brazil U-17 National Team. In 2024, he was promoted to São Paulo’s professional squad but did not make his debut. With his contract nearing its end, the goalkeeper was released by Tricolor to seek new opportunities and signed with Botafogo-PB.

Botafogo-PB will compete in four tournaments next season: the Série C of the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, the Paraíba State Championship, and the Copa do Nordeste.
