Handball: Antonio Martínez extends until 2027 | OneFootball

Antonio Martínez has renewed his contract until 2027 and will continue to wear blue and white next season. In the current campaign, the Spanish international right wing has already scored 140 goals in 28 matches for FC Porto, an average of five goals per game.

Born 22 years ago in León, Antonio Martínez Llamazares completed almost his entire development at Ademar and was crowned European Under-20 champion with Spain in July 2022 at the Matosinhos Sports and Congress Centre, where he scored 37 goals in the seven games played by “La Rojita”.

After winning the European title in the decisive match against the team coached by Carlos Martingo — with Diogo Rêma, Pedro Oliveira, Ricardo Brandão, João Gomes and Miguel Oliveira on the court — Antonio Martínez was named to the tournament’s All-Star team.

His fine form continued after returning home, and the left-hander finished the following season as the second-top scorer in the renowned ASOBAL League, playing for the team that finished seventh, with 189 goals in 30 rounds.

He arrived in the Invicta city in the summer of 2023 and kept up his scoring touch, surpassing the 100-goal mark (101) in his very first season wearing the Dragon on his chest. In the second, he suffered a serious injury and was out of competition for several months, but still bettered that tally and scored 128 goals in just 22 games (5.8 per game).

In his third season with FC Porto, the number 24 has established himself as the main attacking weapon of Magnus Andersson’s team and made his debut for Spain’s senior national team last March, in a pair of friendlies against France.

Committed to keeping talent in-house, FC Porto continues to renew the contracts of its future prospects and keep them at Dragão Arena. After Mamadou Diocou, José Luís Ferreira, Diogo Rêma and Ricardo Brandão, it is now Antonio Martínez’s turn to extend his ties with the Club for another year.
