Bárbara Marques extends contract | OneFootball

Bárbara Marques was one of the key figures in FC Porto women’s team’s journey, as in just two years they climbed from the Third Division to the First Division, and she will continue in blue and white in 2026/27: the 25-year-old goalkeeper has renewed her contract and is preparing to return to the Liga BPI.

Wearing the number 33 shirt, she took her first steps at Dragon Force, then went on to represent SC Braga, Valadares Gaia, Vitória SC and Racing Power before returning to where it all began to join the first women’s team in FC Porto’s history.

Along the way, she won a National Championship, a Portuguese Cup and a League Cup while playing for the Minho club, in addition to winning the UEFA Development Tournament with Portugal’s under-16 national team.

In September 2024, exactly one month after arriving in Porto, she suffered a left knee injury that kept her off the pitch for several months and, although she did not play again that season, her work during recovery and accumulated experience ultimately earned her renewed trust.

In her second season, the goalkeeper featured in eight matches across the Second Division and the AF Porto Cup, keeping six clean sheets against Tirsense (0-4), Clube de Albergaria (1-0), Leixões SC (0-4), SC Rio Tinto (5-0), CF Benfica (4-0) and again against Clube de Albergaria (1-0), conceding only four goals.

After a campaign in which FC Porto were crowned Second Division National Champions, secured promotion to the top flight and reached the finals of the Portuguese Cup and the AF Porto Cup, Bárbara Marques has renewed her contract and will continue to wear the dragon on her chest in 2026/27.
