Mauro Xavier did not hide his pride in the work done by Benfica's young players. Through social media, the well-known Eagles' member highlighted the role that the footballers from Seixal have played in the national team's journey in the Under-17 World Cup in Qatar, where they reached the tournament's final.

On his official account on the social network X, formerly Twitter, the Benfica supporter congratulated the team coached by Bino Maçães. "Congratulations to the Benfica players who reached the Under-17 World Cup final after already being European champions", began Mauro Xavier, highlighting the young Eagles who are part of the national squad.

"May this generation with Banjaqui, Furtado, J. Neto, Quintas, Figueiredo, Cabral, Stevan Manuel, R. Neto, and Tomás Soares have their opportunity", concluded the Benfica fan, emphasizing that the young players deserve the chance to play in the main squad, given the quality and talent they display.

It should be noted that the national team, currently competing in the World Cup in Qatar, reached the final of the tournament yesterday, after eliminating Brazil in a penalty shootout. With their place in the decisive match secured, the team will face Austria.

Among Bino Maçães' selections, the spotlight is on the young footballers from the Seixal academy, with special emphasis on names like Rafael Quintas, the national team's captain, Anísio Cabral, who has been one of the offensive references, and José Neto, the left-back who has been tireless in Portugal's game.
