FC Porto extend Mariana Azevedo deal: “It’s a feeling only we know…” | OneFootball

FC Porto confirmed this Wednesday, through the club’s official channels, the contract renewal of 30-year-old centre-back Mariana Azevedo. The Portugal international, who was already crowned national champion with Sporting in 2017/18, now returns to the top tier of women’s football with the Dragons.

“It’s a feeling that only we know. I feel that this shirt carries a certain responsibility, and knowing that I made the fans happy is something indescribable,” said the centre-back most used by Daniel Chaves this season.

The defender is fully focused on contributing to the team: “When I was little, I dreamed of playing for Portugal. Now I dream of giving my all for FC Porto and taking FC Porto to the highest levels of women’s football.”

FC Porto, who will make their Liga BPI debut next season, are already preparing for the new campaign. After the renewals of Eliza Turner, Lily Bryant, Lara Perruca and Matilde Vaz, it is now Mariana Azevedo’s turn to earn the trust of coach Daniel Chaves.
