Ricardo Costa is the seventh signing confirmed by FC Porto for the senior futsal team. The player joins Cardinal, Tiaguinho, Tiago Correia, Samuel Silva, Tiago Velho and Leandro Silva in the squad that will compete in the National Championship of the Third Division.

The 24-year-old pivot, born in Rio Tinto, played in the top flight between 2020 and 2024 for ADCR Caxinas, Futsal Azeméis and Dínamo Sanjoanense. He now arrives at the Dragão from the São João da Madeira club, which has meanwhile been relegated to the Second Division.

Known in futsal as Ricardinho, he began his career at Casa FC Porto de Rio Tinto and, during his youth development, represented Juventude da Triana, Cohaemato and ADCR Caxinas. At senior level, in addition to the clubs already mentioned, he also wore the shirts of Torreense and Al Tadhamon, from Kuwait.

In the 2025/26 season, the highest-scoring of his career, he netted 26 goals and recorded three assists in 28 matches across the second tier, the AF Aveiro Taça de Honra and the Portuguese Cup. Ricardo Costa now joins FC Porto’s senior team, under the command of André Pereira, and will wear the number 11 shirt.

“When I got the call, I didn’t even think twice. It was impossible to refuse, because I’m a Porto supporter, I have many family members who support Porto, and I love FC Porto. Here, fighting spirit cannot be lacking; every FC Porto player has to have fighting spirit,” promised the new blue-and-white signing.
