Ex-Sporting Marcus Edwards to play for Cyprus

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo13 September 2026 at 15:44

The English winger Marcus Edwards, who made a name for himself during his time in Portugal at Sporting and Vitória de Guimarães, decided to represent the Cypriot national team. Edwards, who was born in England, had held British nationality until now.

The player, who stood out at Sporting at Alvalade and subsequently at Vitória de Guimarães, made the decision to represent Cyprus at international level. This choice allows him to continue his international career in a country with strong ties to the British community.

The move to the Cypriot national team comes at a time in Edwards' career when he is seeking new challenges. The Cypriot Football Federation is expected to officially announce the player's call-up for the national team's upcoming commitments shortly.

Why this matters

This move is relevant for Portuguese football fans who followed Edwards' career at Alvalade and Guimarães, and who will now see him represent Cyprus in international competitions. The choice also affects the competitive dynamics of Cypriot football, which gains a player with experience in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, potentially representing a stronger opponent in European qualifiers.
