On Wednesday (15), Botafogo finalized the contract renewal of Victor Hugo, a 16-year-old defensive midfielder, extending his deal until May 2030. Victor Hugo plays for Glorioso’s U-17 team and was brought into the squad by first-team coach Franclim Carvalho during this mid-season break for the continuation of the campaign.

At the Club since 2024, Victor Hugo won the Rio de Janeiro State U-17 Championship at just 15 years old, as a starter and a key player in Glorioso’s successful run. The black-and-white defensive midfielder was recently called up to the Brazil U-17 national team and played in friendlies as part of the preparation for the FIFA U-17 World Cup. Victor is one of the leaders of Glorioso’s U-17 team, standing out for his technique, attitude, and commitment.

"I’m very honored to continue developing at Botafogo. I’m very grateful to wear the Glorious Jersey, and I will keep honoring it with great dedication, hard work, and humility. This achievement is the result of a lot of work, not only mine, but also that of my teammates, coaches, and family. I thank God and everyone who has been by my side on this journey," concluded the midfielder.
