Sara Rodrigues joins Benfica

The young basketball player from Aveiro, Sara Rodrigues, just 18 years old, has been confirmed as a reinforcement for Benfica, the current national women's basketball champion. The transfer comes after a season in which, despite representing Vagos, a team that was relegated from the Liga to the Women's First National Division and only won one game, she "grew" significantly as a player. In the 26 games she played for the Vagos club, Sara Rodrigues averaged 11.6 points, 1 assist, and 7 rebounds, numbers that allowed her to stand out and attract the attention of the country's top teams. Diário de Aveiro knows that the winger/center, trained at Beira-Mar and Esgueira, where she made her debut in the senior team at just 16 years old, will have signed with the "eagles" even before joining the National Team, which participates, starting next Saturday, in the Under/19 World Championship, which takes place until the 20th in Brno, Czech Republic.

Sara Rodrigues will represent Portugal in the first World Cup in its history, competing in Group B and will face Canada (day 12), China (day 13) and Nigeria (day 15).
