Letícia Almeida joins the women’s team from Benfica | OneFootball

After being crowned National Champion and winning the Portuguese Cup, Letícia Almeida leaves Lisbon and heads to Invicta, where she will strengthen FC Porto’s women’s team. The 21-year-old midfielder joins the Club from Benfica, bringing five seasons of experience in the top flight.

Born in Vila das Aves, the midfielder began her journey at CD Aves before going on to play for AMCH Ringe, Vilaverdense FC, FC Famalicão and Benfica prior to donning blue and white.

After completing her youth development in her hometown, she moved to Vila Verde, where she began her senior career at 15 and helped the local club reach the top tier of Portuguese football. Three years later, she transferred to Famalicão, where she won the first trophy of her career alongside Joana Ferreira and Maria Negrão.

The Portuguese Cup won in 2022/23 opened the doors to the capital and, over the following three years, she collected three league titles, two Portuguese Cups, one Super Cup and two League Cups while at Benfica. In the most recent campaign, she made 17 appearances, four of them in the Champions League, and celebrated the domestic double.

In addition to the nine titles, the new number 6’s career also includes 39 youth international caps, split between the under-19 and under-23 levels, on a path shared with forwards Lara Perruca and Maria Ferreira.

At 21, Letícia Almeida moves to FC Porto and, in 2026/27, joins the list of signings that includes Morgan Stone, Maria Inês Nogueira, Daniela Santos and Beatriz Carvalho under Daniel Chaves.
