No thanks: Issiar Dramé rejects the move
1º Dezembro had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Estrela da Amadora, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
1º Dezembro bid $82.0K for Lagartinho
The offer went to Portimonense this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Diogo Ferreira in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at 1º Dezembro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Samuel Oliveira steps up from the 1º Dezembro academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Samuel Oliveira has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

A test against the best for 1º Dezembro
The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Belenenses.

Rafael Fernandes falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
In brief
- Looking ahead A reunion for Ricardo Isabelinha
- Squad Competition arrives for Rui Pacheco
- Squad The training reports on Samuel Oliveira are not good
