Portugal achieved a historic victory by defeating Spain 89-95 in Zaragoza, in the first game of the second phase of qualification for the 2027 Basketball World Cup. This was the first Portuguese victory in official games against their Spanish neighbors.

The match was related to the first matchday of Group I, which was considered, in theoretical terms, the most difficult of the six groups in this qualification phase. The Portuguese national team, coached by Mário Gomes, decisively overcame the 2006 and 2019 world champions.

With this impressive triumph, Portugal keeps alive the expectation of continuing their qualifying journey, demonstrating the significant growth that the team has been showing in recent international competitions.

Exclusivo Glorioso 1904 - Ederson's return to Benfica is becoming an increasingly...

Ederson's return to Benfica is considered increasingly unrealistic by the club's structure. Despite the loss of Anatoliy Trubin's starting position and the uncertainty around Samuel Soares, the 33-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper is not seen as a realistic target. The main obstacle is related to the player's contract with Fenerbahçe, which runs until 2028, and the salary considered prohibitive for the Portuguese club's financial reality. Additionally, the Turkish club is not available to facilitate a potential transfer, leaving the eagles without room to move forward for what would be one of the fans' biggest wishes for the goal.
