Mateus Jesus joins the senior futsal squad | OneFootball

FC Porto’s futsal squad continues its preparations for the new season, now with Mateus Jesus promoted from the under-19 setup to the senior team. The goalkeeper joins Cardinal, Tiaguinho, Tiago Correia, Samuel Silva, Tiago Velho, Leandro Silva, Ricardo Costa, Rafael Lara, Luís Paulo, Leandro Cardoso, David Rodrigues and João Fonte in the National Third Division championship.

Born on 30 July 2008, 18-year-old Mateus Jesus started playing at Maia Futsal, where he remained for five seasons. He then spent three years at ADCR Caxinas before moving to Porto in the summer of 2025.

FC Porto’s new number 12 already has three regional titles and two youth international caps on his résumé. Signed for Porto’s under-19s, he made an outstanding debut, playing 22 matches, keeping 13 clean sheets and scoring five goals.

He was also the goalkeeper most used by André Pereira in a season that ended with the AF Porto Honor Division title and promotion to the Elite Division, the top level of district futsal.

After establishing himself as a key player for FC Porto’s juniors, Mateus Jesus follows in the footsteps of Leandro Silva and Leandro Cardoso by also becoming part of the Dragons’ senior first futsal team.
