Samara Lino will represent Vitória SC in the 2026/27 season, on loan from Sporting. The two clubs reached an agreement for the temporary transfer of the Portuguese-Brazilian midfielder. Born in Rio de Janeiro, the player has Portuguese ancestry and has already won one cap for the national team. The debut for Portugal took place on June 23, 2025, in a match against Nigeria that ended in a goalless draw. "It is a privilege for any player to have the opportunity to represent this shirt", said Samara Lino, in the first statements to the media of Vitória SC. The most recent Victorian was enthusiastic about the new challenge and highlighted her identification with the principles of the Guimarães emblem, which she considers a professional structure committed to the growth of women's football.
