“We’re at the right club to dream” | OneFootball

After achieving the goal of “winning the Double with FC Porto,” Beatriz Basto is extending her link with “a great Club” and looking ahead to “a very difficult season,” “full of matches and opportunities.” “Ready for another season” in blue and white, the Portuguese international libero assures that she will “keep working to have an even better season,” supported by “very passionate fans, who drive the team on in every game and make everything easier.”

Eyes on 2026/27“We’re ready for another season. We know the next one will be very difficult, because the other teams will also strengthen, but we’re trying to keep a core group and we want to continue our work to have an even better season than the last one.”

2025/26 in review“FC Porto’s structure ended up making things much easier and I already knew the coaching staff, which also helped. The structure, the coaching staff and my teammates all ended up making everything easier. At the end of the day, the group was very good and I hope it stays that way next year. On top of that, FC Porto has very passionate fans, who support us in every game and also make everything easier.”

Return after injury“It was the right Club to come back to. Nobody values the work done behind the scenes, but I’d like to underline the importance of the medical department and the physiotherapists, who stay out of the spotlight but work very hard. Everything works well here and the level of training ended up helping me feel that.”

FC Porto debut“It exceeded my highest expectations. If a year ago someone had told me I would win the Double with FC Porto, I probably wouldn’t have believed it. I wasn’t expecting the season to go so well for me, especially after a spell out.”

Commitment for the future“I tried to give my best every day and I feel that I ended up giving my best in every game, but the best I gave this season will certainly be different from what I can give next season. In any case, I can guarantee that I will always give my all.”

The Porto family“FC Porto’s fans are very different from those of any other club, because FC Porto is a big Club and the Dragão Arena fills up for many of the games, even though it’s a very large arena. We had a full arena in the European competitions and in the match that secured a place in the Taça de Portugal final four, and that was a very good experience that we will remember forever.”

Best moments“If I had to choose one moment, I’d say the Taça de Portugal final. For me, it was the most important moment of the season and it was the game that gave me confidence going into the play-offs. Of course, the last game of the season and the last game of the semi-finals were also very important. It was a season that went very well and there were games that, despite not deciding titles, were very important for us.”

The road ahead“A very difficult season lies ahead, because the other squads will also strengthen. It will be very difficult because we’ll be competing in more competitions, starting with the Super Cup and the Iberian Super Cup, but also the Champions League qualifiers. It will be a season full of matches and opportunities.”

Dreams drive life“There’s always room to dream bigger, both collectively and individually. I think we’re at the right Club for that.”
