BIOGRAPHY
Samuel Soares represents Benfica in the Primeira Liga, one of the most competitive divisions in world football. Originally from Sintra, Portugal, this Portugal international has steadily made his way to the top level. Standing at 190 cm and weighing 94 kg, this goalkeeper has the physical tools to compete at the highest level. A commanding presence in his box, he organises his defence with authority and handles the most difficult situations with confidence. Shaped by stints at Benfica U19, Portugal U17, Portugal U21 and beyond, he brings a wealth of footballing experience to Benfica's dressing room. A winner at the highest level, he has lifted Taça da Liga, Super Cup, proving his ability to deliver when the stakes are highest. With the 2025/2026 campaign in full swing, he is intent on making his presence felt in Benfica's plans.
