Inácio set to make history at Sporting, and it's all down to Ruben Amorim | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio is set to play his 150th game for Sporting's main team during the visit to Tondela. The central defender is expected to be Rui Borges' starter in the ninth round of Liga Portugal Betclic and reach a significant milestone with the green and white jersey, at a time when he is about to renew.

Inácio's journey with Sporting's main squad began on October 4, 2020, five years ago, in the third round of the championship. Physical complaints from Zouhair Feddal led Ruben Amorim to make a forced change, launching the young player at just 19 years old.

Inácio showed great confidence with the ball at his feet and delighted the fans, as well as Ruben Amorim. The now Portuguese international would go on to secure a starting position on the right side of the central trio, even playing with his non-dominant foot, replacing Luís Neto.

At the start of the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is one of the pillars of Sporting. The green and white central defender has accumulated 1,080 minutes in 12 games, in which he has already made two assists for goals.

Sporting returns to the field this Sunday, October 26, against Tondela. The match, part of the ninth round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Ivo Vieira, will be played at Estádio João Cardoso, at 18:00.
