Official: Al Nassr sign Portugal international from Benfica (Video) | OneFootball

In recent days, the Benfica market has been stirred by the departure of Andreia Faria, one of the most prominent figures in the women’s football team of the Eagles and at the national level. After saying goodbye to Luz, the Portuguese international under Francisco Neto is already in Saudi Arabia, where she will join Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.

The former Benfica player was received with great fanfare in the Middle Eastern country, with the expectation of joining a team that will compete for national and international titles. Through a post, the Saudi club wasted no time in welcoming the player, one of the leading figures of the Eagles.

On Al Nassr’s official social media, the club described Andreia Faria’s arrival as a move of great significance. In the post, the Saudi club wrote the following: “From the homeland of football to the capital of vision. The Portuguese rhythms have arrived at Al Awwal Park.”

A five-time national champion with the red and white team, Andreia Faria thus ended her connection with the Club of Luz, heading for a new experience in her career. She becomes the second Portuguese international to head to the Saudi league, after her former Benfica teammate Jéssica Silva signed with Al Hilal.

Thus comes to an end an eight-year connection with Benfica’s Sacred Mantle, where she won a total of 16 trophies with the Eagles, including the historic national five-time championship, something unprecedented in Portuguese women’s football. Now, at 25 years old, the player will join the team of Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix.
