Ruben Neves

Ruben Neves has transitioned from a record-breaking young talent at Porto and a foundational player at Wolverhampton Wanderers to a key figure at Al-Hilal and the Portuguese National team. After breaking a club record as the youngest player to score for FC Porto in the Primeira Liga in August 2014, Ruben Neves quickly established himself as a formidable talent. Days later, he further broke Cristiano Ronaldo’s record by becoming the youngest Portuguese player to appear in the UEFA Champions League. By October 2015, at 18 years and 221 days, he made history again as the youngest captain in Champions League history and also became the youngest player to make 50 appearances for FC Porto.

A decorated international, Neves was a member of the Portugal squads for UEFA Euro 2020, the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and Euro 2024, demonstrating his ongoing importance at the highest level of international football. He played a key role in the team that won the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and is anticipated to contribute to the 2025 UEFA Nations League campaign, further cementing his legacy as a central figure for both club and country.
