Rui Borges has decided! Sporting line up new academy talent for 2026/27 | OneFootball

The end of the 2025/2026 season is going very well for Eduardo Felicíssimo. The 19-year-old midfielder, seen as one of the biggest products of Sporting’s academy, took to social media to share another sporting milestone that makes him proud.

“”, he wrote. The player made his debut for the Under-21 national team against Northern Ireland, in a 4-0 win, replacing Gabriel Silva in the 80th minute.

According to A BOLA, Felicíssimo is following in the line of Alcochete talents who have reached the first team and, for that reason, he will complete pre-season with the senior squad. Sporting’s aim is to develop and increase the value of the Academy’s assets, so as not to have such a financially demanding transfer market.

After a year of transition and rapid growth, in which he split his time between the juniors, the B team and one appearance for the first team against Rio Ave, the midfielder is now preparing for the ultimate test of his career under the watchful eye of the coaching staff led by Rui Borges.

It should be remembered that Eduardo Felicíssimo renewed his contract with the Alvalade club at the end of December last year. With the new deal running until 2030 and a release clause set at 80 million euros, all signs indicate that the coming period will be a bright one for the midfielder.
