Official: Sporting sign new Portuguese goalkeeper | OneFootball

It’s official. Martim Martins is a new signing for Sporting, the Lions announced this Friday, August 22. The 14-year-old goalkeeper began his journey at Talaíde and, over the past four seasons, played for Escola de Futebol Os Belenenses de Oeiras, where in 2024/2025 he made 18 official appearances across various youth levels.

The young keeper now takes an important step in his still short career, embracing the challenge of continuing his development at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. He will play for the club’s under-15 team and promises to make his mark wearing the green and white in the near future.

Recently, Dinis Marques also signed a youth contract with the Lions. The young midfielder, just 14 years old, thanked the club’s management for the opportunity and expressed his happiness at this new step in his career.

Frederico Varandas, President of the Lions, thus continues his strong commitment to the renowned Alcochete academy. In recent weeks, Rodrigo Pedro also extended his contract with the Alvalade club. The trio is expected to play for the under-15s in the upcoming season.

The under-15s, led by António Cruz, finished second in the Champion Qualification Phase in 2024/25 with 39 points. Benfica were crowned champions with 43. The new season will only begin in October, with the Lions facing Farense in the opening match.
