Rodrigo Mora named Player of the Year by O Jogo 🏆 | OneFootball

Precisely one month after receiving the Golden Dragon Footballer award for the 2024/25 season, Rodrigo Mora was chosen by the readers of the newspaper O Jogo as Player of the Year – a distinction that Diogo Costa received in 2023.

In the year he came of age, FC Porto's number 86 scored eleven goals for the club and four more for the under-21 national team; in April, he was named Midfielder of the Month and Player of the Month in Liga Portugal, renewed his contract until 2030, received the Revelation of the Year award from CNID in May, and won the Nations League in June.

In September, at the Ballon d'Or gala, France Football magazine placed him eighth among the best players in the world under 21 years old – the first outside the top five leagues and the only one playing in Portugal. In October, he was among the finalists for the Golden Boy, an award from the Italian newspaper Tuttosport for the best European under-21 player.

This season, Rodrigo Mora won 20 out of the 23 matches he played wearing the Porto jersey, scored three goals – against Red Star (2-1), SC Braga (2-1), and SU Sintrense (3-0) – and recorded two assists – against Malmö FF (2-1) and in Alverca (0-3) – being one of the main figures of the team that leads the championship with 46 points out of a possible 48.
