Benfica finalized the contract renewal of Rita Batista and Sofia Moncóvio, both with extended deals until 2027. Rita Batista, a Portuguese international, is described as a "beast" who scored 33 goals against Sporting, highlighting her previous career at the Lisbon rival.
The players will continue to represent Benfica's women's roller hockey team, a group accustomed to fighting for titles. Rita Batista expressed pride and joy at being able to continue representing the club, noting that the work done led to the desire to keep her at the red and white emblem.
The renewal also brings increased responsibility for Rita Batista, who acknowledges that the hardest part is not reaching the top, but maintaining it. The player understands that being able to stay several years at Benfica means the work is being well executed.
Benfica enters all competitions with the aim of winning, with the Champions League as the team's big dream.
