Official! Diego Veiga agrees deal with Sporting | OneFootball

It’s official. Diego Veiga, a 14-year-old winger who has regularly played for Sporting’s under-16 team this season, has signed a development contract. Since the 2017/18 season, he has been serving the green and whites, and the young footballer will thus continue his daily routine at the Academy, developing with the leonine squad.

The footballer has stood out in the under-16 district championship with five goals in eight games, but he has also already played five matches in the National Under-15 Championship, although he has yet to score or assist in this category.

The youngster arrived at the leonine Academy in the 2017/18 season and, since then, has progressed within the green and white structure. The signing of this contract represents recognition of the work he has done over recent seasons.

Sporting once again demonstrates the importance it places on youth development and the appreciation of young talents from the Academy. The Alvalade club thus continues to ensure the continuity of prospects who may one day reach the highest levels of football. Tiago Gimo also recently renewed his contract.

In the last match, the under-15 team defeated Paços de Ferreira (2-1), in a game counting for the sixth round of the Under-15 Champion Qualification Phase. At this moment, João Lourenço’s side has 11 points in the standings and is in third place.
