Léo Teixeira beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 40. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The knee: Rodolfo out for 43 days

43 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Felgueiras lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

An offer of $16.1M for Alexander Bah

Felgueiras have gone to Benfica with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A brace, and Oskar Pietuszewski takes the afternoon — 8.08

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Oskar Pietuszewski provided it, and the 8.08 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Fábio Martins yet — 7.85

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.85 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Felgueiras

Kévin Rodrigues was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match15 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Felgueiras and Pacos de Ferreira in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match15 Aug 2026

Felgueiras see off Pacos de Ferreira

Three points for Felgueiras, 4‑2 the final word against Pacos de Ferreira in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Felgueiras rebuffed over Miguel Sousa

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Leixões have kept their man, and Felgueiras go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Rodolfo damages knee ligaments — 51 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 51 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market10 Aug 2026

Alverca come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Felgueiras did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Mathys Jean Marie would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Mathys Jean Marie is living that version at Felgueiras, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Tiago Sá due for a Felgueiras medical

Everything agreed with Braga, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Léo Teixeira 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 Felgueiras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Afonso Peixoto signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Afonso Peixoto commits to Felgueiras for another 4 years.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Door shut on Alexander Bah

Felgueiras asked and Benfica said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Henrique Santos joins the Felgueiras first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Henrique Santos is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Felgueiras promote Felipe Sousa from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Felipe Sousa has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Miguel Campos gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Miguel Campos has just signed for Felgueiras, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Afonso Freitas signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Afonso Freitas and Felgueiras agree another 4 years.

Market3 Aug 2026

Bruno Pinto comes home

The shirt still fits. Bruno Pinto is back at Felgueiras, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Felgueiras

Léo Teixeira was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Kévin Rodrigues 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.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Benfica tell Felgueiras: Nuno Félix is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Felgueiras and Tiago Leite

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Pedro Virgínia is in the works

Felgueiras have made the call to Rio Ave. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Tiago Leite asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
