FC Porto announced the renewal of young goalkeeper Raquel Cunha's contract, who made her debut for the women's first team at just 15 years old. Raquel, who began her journey at the club in the summer of 2023, had a remarkable season, winning the national title in three categories: first team, B team, and juniors. Her senior debut took place on November 1, 2025, in a Portuguese Cup match, where Porto won 25-0. Raquel also participated in the main squad's presentation game at Estádio do Dragão after being called up for pre-season. Throughout the season, the goalkeeper played 11 matches for the B team and eight for the junior team, conceding only five goals. Her performances stood out, leading to her call-up for the national under-15 and under-16 teams, where she contributed to six victories for Portugal. Raquel expressed her happiness about the renewal, considering it a unique opportunity and praising the trust the club has placed in her. The young goalkeeper is determined to continue working hard to meet fans' expectations and maintain her performance in the Primeira Divisão. She recalled her debut with the first team as an unforgettable moment, highlighting the support from her teammates and the positive atmosphere in the locker room. Raquel believes that last season's achievements reflect the evolution of women's football at FC Porto and is eager for the challenges ahead in the upcoming season.
