Fatumata Sissé leaves Marítimo for FC Porto: “I’m not here to mess about” | OneFootball

FC Porto officially announced the signing of Fatumata Sissé this Friday. The 23-year-old Guinean forward arrives from Marítimo, the club for which she recorded 12 goals and five assists in 54 matches over two seasons. Before representing the Madeira side, the player also had spells at Estoril and Clube Futebol Benfica.

“I’m very happy to be at FC Porto, it’s a very big club. I hope I can count on the support of the fans and I will give my all for them. Every player would like to play here. I was very happy to be able to take this step, I wasn’t expecting it. I really admire FC Porto, it’s going to be very good to play here,” she said in her first comments to the club’s media, before stressing that on the pitch she is “always focused” and that her main goal is to score goals.

“When I’m on the pitch, it’s not for fun. It’s to play football. Outside the four lines I like to have fun, but during the game I’m always focused. I like scoring goals and when I can’t, I feel sad. I’m a quick player who has already built up some experience in Portuguese football and in Liga BPI. Football in Portugal is very different from football in Guinea-Bissau; here you need to know how to pass the ball and immediately run into space, you have to understand the game,” she said.

It should be remembered that FC Porto had already confirmed the signings of Morgan Stone, Maria Inês Nogueira, Daniela Santos, Beatriz Carvalho, Letícia Almeida, Ana Teles and Vânia Duarte for the 2026/27 season, the club’s first in Liga BPI.
