Official! Paulino agrees terms with Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting announced this Friday a significant change in the structure of women’s football. The news comes at a time when the Club aims to strengthen its commitment to the sport and consolidate the growth seen in recent years.

The person chosen to take on the role of general coordinator of women’s football is Bárbara Paulino, a former Benfica futsal player, who succeeds Margarida Battle Y Font in the position. At 38, the executive is now taking on a new challenge at Alvalade, assuming responsibility for coordinating the Lions’ entire women’s project.

In her first statements to the Club’s official media, Paulino did not hide her satisfaction with this new step in her career. "I am very happy and very proud to be here. I was very well received and it is clear that all the departments at the Academy are connected, that they are all working toward the same goal, and the atmosphere is very good and positive, which makes all our work much easier," she said.

The new coordinator also took the opportunity to outline the guiding principles of her mission at Sporting, leaving a promise to the club’s fans. "What we want is to keep growing. We have a lot of potential, and we will work toward that. What I promise on my part is hard work," she assured.

With this appointment, Sporting is strengthening the organization of women’s football and preparing for a new stage in the development of the sport. The expectation at Alvalade is that Bárbara Paulino’s experience and dedication can help the Club achieve even more ambitious goals in the coming seasons.
