Official! 4 years on, Varandas brings player back to Sporting | OneFootball

It’s official. Neuza Besugo is back at Sporting, strengthening the women’s first team for the 2026/27 season. The midfielder, who can also play on the wings, will wear green and white again four years after leaving Alvalade.

At 27, the player returns to the Club where she represented the team between 2016 and 2022, after gaining experience at other clubs in Portuguese football. During her spell away from the Lionesses, she played for Torreense, Famalicão, Valadares Gaia and, most recently, Racing Power.

In her first statements, the Portugal under-23 international did not hide her satisfaction: “Sporting has always been my home. I was away for four years, but coming back is the highlight of my career. When I left, I wanted to become a better player, get more minutes and establish myself. Coming home is the result of the work I’ve done over those years.”

The footballer believes she is returning far more prepared than during her first spell at the Club and feels that the experiences she had contributed to her growth: “I left, had other experiences and understood other contexts beyond Sporting. I’m coming back more mature, with a better understanding of the game and ready to help the team. I’m prepared for every moment and to handle big matches.”
