João Resende signs a Youth Development Contract
In a historic moment for the club, João Resende signed a youth development contract and will continue to wear black and white in the 2026/2027 season. The 15-year-old centre-back marks a new era at Academia Ovarense and becomes the first athlete to sign a contractual agreement valid for three sporting seasons with the club.
After 8 years with Ovarense on his chest, this moment goes down in history, marking a new cycle and setting an example that shows all athletes that hard work and commitment are valued.
The future starts here with limitless Vareira Courage
Congratulations on all the work done so far, and we hope the road to success continues with us
