The Professional Football Players’ Union (SJPF) announced that Sporting forward Luis Suárez was awarded the Primeira Liga Player of the Month for August and September. The newcomer to Alvalade beat out competition from Victor Froholdt and Luís Esteves.

The Alvalade club’s striker stood out during the evaluation period, scoring five goals and providing three assists in seven matches of the National Championship, helping the Lions to six wins and one defeat, against Porto (2-1) at Alvalade.

"Luis Suárez received 18.05% of the votes, surpassing Porto midfielder Victor Froholdt, who garnered 14.25% of the preferences. The podium is completed by midfielder Luís Esteves (Gil Vicente), with 12.82% of the votes," announced the Players’ Union.

Also last month, Luis Suárez made his debut in the starting eleven for the Colombian national team in official matches, and did so with a four-goal haul against Venezuela (6-3). A performance that brought him out of the shadows and solidified his position in the quest to secure a spot at the next 2026 World Cup.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 11 matches. The Sporting player has featured in every official game at the start of the season: eight in Liga Portugal, two in the Champions League, and one in the Super Cup. In the 854 minutes he has played, the forward has scored seven goals and provided three assists.
