Caylen Alexander boosts FC Porto’s volleyball side for 2026/27 | OneFootball

Caylen Alexander left the United States of America for the Invicta city to join FC Porto’s volleyball team, national champions and winners of the Portuguese Cup in 2025/26.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Caylen Alexander moved to the U.S. state of Georgia at the age of nine and started playing volleyball as a way of adapting to her new reality. The recognition she earned in school sports led her to sign for a federated club and, from then on, she never stepped away from the sport.

In 2022, she moved to Hawaii, where she balanced her university studies with playing volleyball. In her debut season, she finished the Big West Conference regular season in first place. Even so, the trophy only came the following season, after winning the decisive tournament, a feat she repeated in 2024/25.

With the status of two-time First Division conference champion and the competition’s best player in 2024, the outside hitter was recruited by the University of Missouri and, in the most recent campaign, took part in the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

Strong in both attack and defense, the 22-year-old, 1.83-meter outside hitter is preparing for her first experience outside the United States of America and joins Annie Cesar among the new signings for FC Porto’s volleyball squad for 2026/27.
