Ceará has agreed to extend center-back Vinicius Uchella’s contract until December 31, 2028. Previously, the player’s deal was valid until early 2027.

Born in Guarulhos, São Paulo, Uchella joined the People’s Team in October 2022 after a standout spell with Flamengo de Guarulhos. The following year, in 2023, as part of the U-17 squad, he won the Campeonato Cearense in that age group. With the U-20 team, in addition to the state title, he also helped win the Copa do Nordeste, serving as the team captain.

“Renewing my contract with Ceará has a very special meaning for me. This is where I grew as an athlete and as a person, learned values, experienced unforgettable moments, and fulfilled dreams. I’m very grateful for every opportunity and remain motivated to keep honoring this jersey and building my story within the club,” said Vinicius Uchella in an interview with cearasc.com.

This season, he is part of Rogério Ferreira’s squad competing in the Brazilian U-20 Série B Championship. In addition, he played his first match for the senior team at the start of the year, featuring in the clash against Floresta in the opening round of the 2026 Campeonato Cearense.

Besides Ceará and Flamengo de Guarulhos, Uchella also came through Corinthians’ youth academy, where he stayed until the U-15 level.

With the defender’s renewal, the Most Beloved now has seven contract renewals involving youth-age players in 2026, joined by: Gustavo Martins, Aloísio Neto, Pedro Gilmar, João Gabriel, Melk, and Enzo Lodovico.
