“When I'm on the pitch, I'm not there to mess about” | OneFootball

Fatumata Sissé was one of the standout players in the Liga BPI in 2025/26 and has now joined FC Porto from Marítimo, saying she is “very happy to be at FC Porto”. The Guinean forward is getting ready to wear the shirt of “a very big club”, where “all players would like to play”, and offers one guarantee: “on the pitch, there’s no messing around”.

“I like scoring goals and I’m a quick player who has already built up some experience in domestic football,” says the attacker, who wants to “help the team achieve many victories”, “give everything so the fans leave the matches happy” and “finish the season with the award for top scorer in the league”.

A dream come true“I’m very happy to be at FC Porto, it’s a very big club. I hope to have the support of the fans and I will give my maximum for them. All players would like to play here. I was very happy to be able to take this step, I wasn’t expecting it. I really admire FC Porto, it’s going to be very good to play here.”

The view from the other side “FC Porto are a very difficult team to face, a team that likes to have the ball. The last time I played against them, while at CS Marítimo, the first half was calm, but in the second they were very motivated and came at us, they were playing very fast.”

How she defines herself“When I’m on the pitch, there’s no messing around. It’s time to play football. Outside the four lines I like to have fun, but during the game I’m always focused. I like scoring goals and when I can’t, I get sad. I’m a quick player who has already built up some experience in domestic football and in Liga BPI. Football in Portugal is very different from football in Guinea-Bissau; here you have to know how to pass the ball and immediately run into space, you need to understand the game.”

The formula for winning“The league is very difficult, but everything depends on the intensity we put into training and matches. Everything depends on the team’s character, so we have to give our maximum every day.”

Goals for the season“I want to help the team achieve many victories and, if possible, I want to finish the season with the award for top scorer in the league.”

A new chapter at FC Porto“I’m eager to meet my teammates. On the first day everything will be new, but after that I want to make friends and share many moments with them, because I like to have fun, to dance and to feel a calm atmosphere in the dressing room.”

A message for the fans“I’m very excited to start working and begin the season. I hope to have the support of the fans, and I will always give my maximum for them. Porto fans don’t like losing, and neither do I, so I will give everything to make sure they leave our matches happy.”
