At 37 years old, Fábio Coentrão is set to make a surprising return to professional football. The former Portugal international has joined a new project bringing together veteran stars and emerging talents.
Coentrão, who earned 52 caps for Portugal, will join a team that already includes Brazilian legend Marcelo and Lamine Yamal, president of La Capital. The project has gained attention for assembling high-profile players and generating media interest, including a recent exchange between Yamal and Ibai Llanos. Details regarding the team’s league and competitive schedule have not yet been released, but the move marks an unexpected continuation of Coentrão’s career after previously retiring from the sport.
