Académica reinforces squad with signing of Spaniard Xavi Grande

Notícias de Coimbra4 September 2026 at 15:15

Académica announced the signing of Xavi Grande, a 21-year-old Spanish right-back. The reinforcement was made official on Friday, September 4, and aims to strengthen the team's squad.

Xavi Grande arrives at Académica at just 21 years of age, being considered a young player with development potential. His Spanish nationality brings international diversity to the Portuguese team's roster.

The signing is part of Académica's strategy to strengthen the club's defensive sector for the season. The Spanish player thus joins the working group led by Académica's technical staff.

Families, friends and curious people gather not only to train, but to experience the sport, watch attempts and socialize. The change reflects a trend of seeking, beyond the physical challenge, new forms of coexistence and social interaction.
