Alverca HubAlverca has another reinforcement: the second of the day and the 30th for the 2025/2026 season. After Julián Martínez, a 21-year-old Honduran central defender, it's Francisco Chissumba, who arrives at Alverca on loan from SC Braga.
Who is Francisco Chissumba?
Francisco Chissumba is a 20-year-old left-back who played 18 games for SC Braga's main team in 2024/2025.
Why was he hired?
Alverca sought to strengthen its team with a player who already has experience in official games. Chissumba also previously worked with Custódio Castro, who trained him in SC Braga's B team.
What does this mean for Alverca?
The hiring of Chissumba is another step to strengthen Alverca's team for the 2025/2026 season. With only Diogo Martins remaining on the squad from last season, defender João Pedro Talisca was promoted from the B team.
