Surprise! Sporting player reveals he’ll retire at the end of the season | OneFootball

The legendary Sporting player, Rita Fontemanha, is preparing to put an end to her career at the end of this season. At 32 years old, the athlete bids farewell to the pitch after a journey of nearly two decades dedicated to women’s football.

Throughout her career, the player represented clubs such as Clube de Alvalade, Boavista, and Atlético de Madrid. Internationally, she also wore the National Team jersey on two occasions, in matches against Ukraine and Poland.

The player’s record is impressive, with a total of ten titles won. Among her main achievements are two national championships, four Portuguese Cups, and three Super Cups, as well as one Spanish Cup.

“I am privileged for everything I have experienced, for all the clubs I have played for, and for all the people who have crossed my path. I finish with absolute certainty: Sporting is and always will be synonymous with home. And there is nowhere else in the world I would rather end my career than at Sporting. Thank you to everyone, and thank you to football,” she wrote on social media.

This season, even though she is already in the final stretch of her career, she continues to contribute on the field, with six games played and one goal scored in the League Cup. In the last match, the Lionesses defeated Marítimo 1-0 (See HERE).
