It’s official. Sporting have announced the signing of a youth contract with Francisco Silva, a 14-year-old full-back who will continue his development wearing the Lion on his chest. The defender arrived at the Club at the start of the 2025/26 season and is now taking another important step in his journey.

Before joining the Lisbon club, the left-sided player represented Braga, having also spent time at Sporting’s Braga academy branch and Lomarense. In his first season in the green-and-white shirt, he took part in 11 official matches.
