FC Famalicão futsal 2026/27 preparations

In late July 2026, FC Famalicão’s futsal team began gearing up for the 2026/27 Portuguese top‑division season. The club announced the renewal of several core players—including captain Ruizinho, winger Rúben Santos, goalkeepers Guilherme Rego and Cláudio Carvalho, and defender Buzuzu—and confirmed the comeback of 24‑year‑old Spanish striker Oscar Aranda after a serious knee injury. A successor to departing coach Hugo Oliveira had yet to be named.

A few days later the squad moved into the pre‑season routine with medical examinations and its first training session. New signings were added—goalkeeper Pedro Nunes, winger Filipe Costa, and pivots Leandro Ribeiro and João Miguel—while veteran Amílcar Gomes retired. The club continued to finalize its roster ahead of the opening league fixture against Arouca. Meanwhile, Portuguese giants Benfica were reported to be scouting English winger Reiss Nelson, a separate transfer rumor unrelated to Famalicão’s immediate preparations.
