Jakub Kiwior voted Defender of the Month in Liga Portugal

After being named to the Team of the Year last season, Jakub Kiwior began 2026/27 by earning the Defender of the Month award. Before the Polish international, Diogo Costa had also been named the league’s Best Goalkeeper for August.

Over the last month, FC Porto defeated FC Alverca (2-0), Rio Ave (0-2), FC Arouca (2-0) and Académico de Viseu (0-2), without conceding a single goal. Kiwior therefore contributed to four clean sheets for the National Champions, alongside his compatriot Jan Bednarek.
