FC Porto renews contract of goalkeeper Bárbara Marques

FC Porto announced on Thursday the renewal of goalkeeper Bárbara Marques' contract. The extension secures her services for the next season.

Marques featured in the squad that achieved consecutive championships in Portugal's Third Division and Second Division. Those titles propelled the team into the top tier.

As the last line of defense, she helped maintain a strong defensive record during the promotion campaigns. The club cited her contributions as a factor in the decision to extend her deal.

The renewed contract positions Marques for the upcoming campaign in the Primeira Liga. Porto expects her to contest the starting goalkeeper role.
