Cardoso Varela

Cardoso Varela is a highly regarded young Portuguese footballer, born in 2007, who has gained attention for his impressive dribbling skills and versatility as a left winger. He made his debut for the Portugal U17 national team in September 2023, shortly before his 15th birthday, and was a key player in the squad that reached the finals of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship, finishing as runners-up. Varela's departure from FC Porto has sparked controversy in Portuguese football, but he has since signed with Dinamo Zagreb, where he is expected to make an impact across multiple age levels, including the senior team.
