FC Porto has confirmed the promotion of Mateus Jesus to the senior futsal team, which will compete in the Third Division during the 2026/2027 season.

The 18-year-old goalkeeper joins the first team after a season with the Dragons’ under-19 side, in which he was André Pereira’s most frequently used option — Pereira is now the current coach of the senior team.

Before representing the Porto club, Mateus Jesus played for Maia Futsal and ADCR Caixa Poça Barca. He is now preparing to share the dressing room with some of the sport’s leading figures.

Among the familiar faces will also be André Pereira, as well as Leandro Cardoso and Leandro Silva, teammates he worked with last season.
