Official: Ex-Sporting star’s daughter signs new deal with Varandas | OneFootball

It's official. Sporting has signed a training contract with Victoria Francisco, a 15-year-old football player. The athlete is the daughter of Ito, a former youth player for the Alvalade Club, who shared the locker room with athletes like Rui Patrício, Miguel Veloso, and Yannick Djaló between 2001 and 2003.

After signing the contract, the under-17 international forward for the National Team spoke about the new stage in her career: "My goals are to always evolve and aim to move up teams. Now I'm in the under-19s, then I want to go to the B team, and from there, I'll think about joining the main team," she began by saying to Sporting TV.

Victoria Francisco then spoke about the main team player she admires the most: "My reference is Matilde Nave. In the first tournaments I played for Sporting, she was still in the B team, and I became quite good friends with her. She is an example on and off the field. She is an exemplary student and player," she stated.

Finally, the young athlete talked about her journey to joining Sporting: "I started playing at Lusitano, then I was in some Benfica schools and later moved to Braga, where I played in some Sporting schools. I was there for two years and came here this year," she concluded.

The A team of the green and white emblem now turns its attention to the seventh round of the BPI League. Sporting's next match is scheduled for Saturday, December 6th, at 3:00 PM, against Rio Ave. The duel against the team led by João Marques will be played in Vila do Conde.
