Official! 21-year-old swaps Benfica for Porto - Exclusive | OneFootball

It is a confirmed Glorious Exclusive. Letícia Almeida is the latest signing for Porto’s women’s team. The 21-year-old player arrives in the north from Benfica, something that had already been reported by our newspaper on June 4.

The rival’s interest in the player arose in the context of the Dragons’ commitment to the team’s growth, which recently secured promotion to the top tier of Portuguese football. The young Portugal under-23 international is seen as a major reinforcement for the club’s new competitive reality.

Letícia Almeida joins Beatriz Carvalho and Daniela Areia Santos, two athletes who also spent time at the Reds’ club. In her first statements as a Porto player, to the club’s media, she admitted she is “fulfilling a dream,” assuring that she hopes to “make history” at the “club of her heart”.

Her spell with the Eagles was full of success, having won three league titles, two Portuguese Cups, one Super Cup and two League Cups. However, the midfielder lost space under Ivan Baptista and played few minutes last season.

Last season, wearing Benfica’s shirt, Letícia Almeida featured in 17 matches: seven in Liga BPI, four in the Champions League, two in the League Cup and four in the Portuguese Cup. In the 747 minutes she was on the pitch, the 21-year-old player did not register any goals or assists.
