Victor Froholdt capped off a perfect first season in Portugal by sweeping Liga Portugal’s top honors. The 20-year-old Danish midfielder won both Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year after helping FC Porto clinch the league title.
The awards are voted on exclusively by coaches and captains from the top division. They were handed out Saturday night, right after Porto’s win over Santa Clara at the Dragao.

Signed in the summer of 2025, Froholdt slotted straight into Francesco Farioli’s system and became its most important piece. The No. 8 played every one of Porto’s 34 league games, starting 31, and racked up 2,875 minutes - more than any other outfield player in the squad.
In the main Player of the Year vote, the Danish international took 43% of the ballots. That put him well ahead of Sporting’s Luis Suarez on 29.5% and Francisco Trincao on 15%.

Froholdt’s dominance was even clearer in the Young Player of the Year category. He took 49.5% of the votes, well ahead of Benfica’s Andreas Schjelderup on 24.5% in second and Famalicão’s Gustavo Sá on 15.5% in third.
At just 20, Froholdt has made an immediate mark on Portuguese football. His standout year with Porto now puts him alongside the league’s past greats and caps off a memorable season for the azul e branco.
