After ending the season with a clean sweep of titles across four age groups, FC Porto is already looking ahead to the new campaign, in which the talents developed at Olival could take on an important role. For the first pre-season training session, scheduled for July 1, Francesco Farioli has called up nine academy youngsters, who will be assessed by the Italian coach as they try to earn a place in the first-team squad.
André Miranda, Tiago Silva and Bernardo Lima are the most experienced members of the group, being the only ones who have already made their debut for the first team and who have also racked up several appearances for FC Porto B in the Segunda Liga.
The main new faces in the squad are Yoan Pereira, Luís Gomes, Mateus Mide, João Teixeira, Duarte Cunha and Eduardo Ferreira, players still seeking their first opportunity and who helped secure the national Under-19 title.
