Sporting outcast joins Pafos for their historic European run | OneFootball

Alexandre Brito's Pafos secured access to the regular phase of the Champions League, after a 1-1 draw with Red Star. The Cypriot team benefited from the result of the first leg of the playoff, in which they defeated the Serbians 2-1 on foreign soil.

The island team had already secured a place in the qualifying stages of the millionaire competition last season, by becoming champions of the Cyprus league, with the help of Rafael Pontelo and Mateo Tanlongo, two players who are in the B team of Sporting and represent headaches for Frederico Varandas' management.

Currently at Pafos, but yet to make any game appearances, is Alexandre Brito. The central midfielder is with the Cypriot team on loan from the Alvalade Club, in a deal that was made official last July.

It is worth remembering that the 20-year-old Portuguese youth international had his departure from the lions decided after the Club's Management became aware of his domestic violence accusations. The complaints were made by the athlete's girlfriend to the Montijo PSP, resulting in his future being cut short at Alvalade.

In 2024/25, Alexandre Brito played 16 games and scored two goals for the B team, in addition to four appearances for the main team, where he debuted under Rui Borges. An injury sidelined him from competition for several weeks, and the under-18 international for Portugal ended up losing ground to Eduardo Felicíssimo, who secured a spot in the final stretch of the season.
