Leandro Silva, who recently took over the under-19 captain’s armband, will be part of FC Porto’s new futsal team, which will compete in the National Third Division Championship in 2026/27. At 19, the universal has achieved something he did not think “was possible” and assures that he will “give everything” with the Dragon on his chest “to help the Club grow, win titles and bring joy to the fans.” His debut at the Dragão Arena, he predicts, “will be thrilling.”
From the under-19s to the senior first team“It’s always a great feeling. It was a dream of mine to play for FC Porto, even though for a while I didn’t believe it was possible. But now that I’ve had this opportunity, I feel it’s an honour and a source of pride to wear this shirt.”
His debut at the Dragão Arena“From some experiences I’ve already had as an FC Porto fan, even just going to the stadium, I believe it’s going to be thrilling, but I take it naturally and I know the support of the fans will help me. I’m going to be very happy here.”
Choosing number 17“This number has a story behind it because I love my sister very much and, since she was born on the 17th, I decided to choose it.”
Determination to contribute“I’m going to give everything I have. I’m an FC Porto supporter and I’m very proud to play for this Club. Whatever I can do to help the Club grow, win titles and bring joy to the fans, I will do.”
A promise to the FC Porto family“The team will give everything on the court to take FC Porto where it deserves to be, which is at the top.”
A love for futsal“I’ve always played football since I was a kid, I used to play with my friends. When I was five or six, my father took me to Ricardinho’s Academy and that’s where I first started kicking a ball. Since then, I’ve always wanted to play futsal and reach the highest levels.”
