Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. buys Portuguese second-tier club

According to reports by UOL, the Brazilian forward spearheaded a group of investors from his home country and Spain, securing ownership of an estimated 70–80% stake in Alverca.

Based near the capital, Lisbon, Alverca currently sits second in Liga Portugal 2 and now dreams of joining Portuguese giants Sporting CP, Porto, and Benfica in the top tier next season.

The acquisition comes just a year after the club won Liga 3, marking a remarkable resurgence following its 12-month shutdown in 2005 due to financial difficulties.

Alverca confirmed the purchase with a statement, “Ricardo Vicintin has sold his qualified stake in the public limited company to a group of investors. More information on the matter will be communicated in due course.”

The club has previously played in the top division, featuring in three out of five seasons between 1998 and 2003. Their home ground, the Complexo Desportivo, has a capacity of 7,705.

Meanwhile, Vinicius Jr. will be a key figure when Real Madrid faces Manchester City on Wednesday, February 19, as they aim to secure a spot in the Champions League last 16.
