Coming from the United States, Eliza Turner has recently settled in the city of Invicta and already feels at home. With a degree in Finance and Marketing from Georgetown University, the 23-year-old American has given an update on her first few days in this new phase, set goals for 2025/26, and pointed out her references, highlighting the "enthusiasm" she feels for representing FC Porto and being the first American in the women's soccer of the dragons, in statements to the newspaper A BOLA.

Among the various figures of the blue and white emblem who have left a strong legacy in recent decades, there is a name in the history of the Portistas that Eliza Turner does not forget: Deco. "One of my all-time favorite FC Porto players is Deco. I greatly admire his creativity and the way he played at the club," stressed the American. As for more current references, the player, who also acts in midfield, points to one of the reinforcements of the men's team: the Dane Victor Froholdt, who has been standing out under the command of Francesco Farioli. "More recently, I also started following Victor Froholdt and I greatly admire his style of play in midfield," highlighted the midfielder.
