João Miguel Vieira Freitas Silva Marques

A regular presence in Casa Pia's squad, João Marques has made his mark in the Primeira Liga through consistent performances. Born in Barreiro, Portugal, he developed his passion for football from an early age before catching the eye of professional clubs. His 179 cm, 74 kg build makes him a powerful midfielder capable of holding his own in any physical contest. His timing in the pass and reading of the game make him a midfielder who is hard to neutralise. His transfer from Estoril to SC Braga in 2024 for € 3.5M was one of the most talked-about deals of that window. His career has taken him to the latter stages of competitions such as Taça da Liga, experiences that have shaped his winning mentality. As the 2025/2026 season progresses, he continues to represent Casa Pia with dedication and professionalism. A player of character and quality, he stands out as one of the most compelling profiles in the Primeira Liga this season.
