Jakub Kiwior was distinguished as the defender of the month in the Portuguese League, achieving this distinction for the first time. The Polish player, who plays for FC Porto, beat Marek Bednarek in the voting for this category. This achievement marks a milestone in the career of the young 23-year-old centre-back, who joined FC Porto in January 2023. Kiwior was instrumental in the solid defensive campaign of the dragons during the period in question, demonstrating consistency and quality in his performances. This distinction comes following another nomination for FC Porto, with Diogo Costa also having been recently recognized in the Portuguese League. The Porto club has thus shown it has high-level players both in defensive positions and in goal.
