Champion Sporting starts winning in the Main Round of the Futsal Champions League

Sporting began its title defense in the UEFA Futsal Champions League with a 5-1 victory over Stalitsa Minsk. The match took place in Croatia, where Rúben Teixeira scored twice, alongside goals from Tomás Paçó, Felipe Rufino, and Rocha. Despite dominating the first half, Sporting only took the lead in the 14th minute. Stalitsa equalized shortly after halftime, but Sporting quickly regained control and extended their lead. The win places Sporting at the top of Group 3, with upcoming matches against Étoile Lavalloise and Olmissum. The top three teams will advance to the knockout stage, with the final four scheduled for May 2026 in Switzerland.
