Transfers Synthesis
Taken together, Mafra’s recorded movement between July 2025 and August 2026 shows a mixed pattern of arrivals and departures. The arrivals include free agents, conventional transfers, loan returns and one loan, while departures combine transfers, free-agent exits, loans and returns to previous clubs. Loan activity is particularly visible: P. Texel appears in departures to Kolding IF and Academica, then in a return to Mafra dated 29 June 2026; S. So is recorded as returning to Rapperswil, and Ussumane Djaló has multiple loan-related entries. Several players are linked with FC Midtjylland across the two directions. Names in the movement records do not all appear in the 26-player recorded roster, so the movement history should be read as a dated sample rather than a current squad register. No transfer fees are recorded, preventing a financial comparison.
Leagues Mafra has participated in
Mafra’s recorded competition portfolio covers league and cup football in Portugal. Liga 3 is recorded from 2021 through 2025, alongside Taça de Portugal participation from 2016 through 2025. Friendlies Clubs is also recorded through 2025, beginning in 2021. Segunda Liga appears from 2018 to 2024 and is historical in this snapshot, while The Atlantic Cup is recorded for 2024 only. Taça da Liga is an earlier cup entry spanning 2019 to 2023. The latest competition records end in 2025, so they do not establish a 2026 schedule or current standing.
More about Mafra
Clube Desportivo de Mafra, commonly known as Mafra, is a Portuguese football club based in the historic town of Mafra in the Lisbon District. The club was founded in 1965, giving it a clear modern-era identity within the region’s football culture. Its visual tradition is associated with yellow and green, colours that distinguish the club’s presence and connect its sporting identity with local civic pride. Mafra’s home setting is closely tied to Estádio Municipal de Mafra, an intimate municipal venue embedded in the community. The club has also historically been associated with Campo Doutor Mário Silveira. That local environment sits beneath the cultural influence of Mafra National Palace, the monumental baroque landmark for which the municipality is internationally recognised and which forms an important part of the town’s wider identity. Historically, Mafra spent much of its early existence progressing through regional Lisbon Football Association competitions. A breakthrough into the national divisions in the early 1990s began a broader rise through the Portuguese pyramid. The club later reached the professional second tier, historically known as LigaPro, and developed a reputation for competing in national cup football, including deep Taça de Portugal runs. The recorded competition history also includes Segunda Liga, Taça da Liga, The Atlantic Cup, Liga 3 and club friendlies. Mafra operates within Portugal’s national football structure and is organised as a sports corporation commonly abbreviated as SAD, alongside traditional club administration. Its wider football model has been characterised by movement between domestic levels, competitive resilience and a blend of experienced Portuguese players, academy products and international developmental recruits. The club has no recorded history of participation in major UEFA club competitions, reinforcing a primarily domestic identity. Mafra’s published team profile reflects that continuing connection between local roots, national competition and a distinctive community setting.
