After Benfica farewell, Hugo Félix has reasons to smile at Tondela | OneFootball

After terminating his contract with Benfica, where he was seeking more playing opportunities, Hugo Félix ended up signing a contract with Tondela, a club that recently ascended to the Liga Portugal Betclic. A few days have passed since his presentation, and the athlete is already integrated into the Beirões' squad.

Today, as already reported by Record newspaper, Tondela returned to training, preparing for the match against Alverca and will now count on the presence of João Félix's brother. However, the same source adds that the team's new number 79 is already familiar with the squad's routines, having already participated in last Friday's training session, September 5, under Ivo Vieira.

However, the same source doesn't stop there and reports that the integration of the new reinforcement was natural and without any kind of hitch for the athlete, as Hugo Félix knows the city well, from a young age. Not only because of his time in the youth team, but also because he accompanied his father who, for three seasons, was the physical trainer of the Beira emblem.

Signed after terminating his contract with Benfica, where he went through the youth academy, like his brother, Hugo Félix is aware of Tondela's sporting objectives for the current season, a team that seeks its maintenance and made a promise to the Beirões' fans: “The goal is to win as many points as possible, achieve a good ranking and have a calm championship”.

In the 2024/25 season, where he played mostly in the B team of the eagles, Hugo Félix - valued at 2.5 million euros - was featured in 36 matches: 32 in the Second League, three in the Premier League International Cup and one in the Portugal Cup. In the 2,653 minutes played with the Benfica jersey, the midfielder scored two goals, adding 10 assists.
