Official! Sporting sign former Benfica winger | OneFootball

Sporting officially announced, this Sunday, the signing of Gabriel Teixeira’s training contract. The winger, just 14 years old, has extended his link with the Lions after a debut season in Alvalade that left promising signs in the Club’s youth ranks.

The young player spent time at Casa Benfica de Fafe before continuing his development and now signing a contract with Sporting. Before arriving at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy at the start of the 2025/26 season, Gabriel Teixeira also played for GD Unidos do Cano and Vitória de Guimarães, building the path that led him to the green-and-white club.

His first season wearing the Lion on his chest confirmed the young winger’s potential. Playing for Sporting’s under-15 B and C teams, Gabriel Teixeira featured in 24 official matches, scoring 12 goals, numbers that convinced the club’s decision-makers to move forward with the signing of the training contract.

The officialization of the deal represents another important step in the development of the young talent, who continues to grow within Sporting’s structure. The Club believes the winger has the qualities to continue progressing through the youth levels and consolidate his path in Alvalade.

After beginning his journey at Casa Benfica de Fafe, Gabriel Teixeira is now preparing to continue developing his career at Sporting - likewise with Fernando Gabriel. The training contract confirms the Lions’ commitment to the 14-year-old winger, whose goal will be to continue standing out in the Club’s youth teams.
