João Pedro Cavaco Cancelo (born 27 May 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Valencia CF as a right back.

Club career

Benfica

Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, Cancelo started playing football with local F.C. Barreirense. He joined S.L. Benfica's youth system in 2007 at the age of 14, where he played as both right and left back.

On 28 July 2012, Cancelo made his debut with Benfica's first team in a friendly against Gil Vicente F.C. where he played the full 90 minutes as a right back.[1] Despite being registered with the B-side, he was touted as a possible replacement to Maxi Pereira in the former;[2] until 2013, he also represented the juniors, and on 18 May of that year he scored the two decisive goals in a 2–1 win over Rio Ave F.C. to conquer the national championship.[3]

On 25 January 2014, Cancelo played his first competitive game with Benfica's main squad, coming on as a late substitute in the 1–0 home success against Gil Vicente for the season's Taça da Liga,[4] which was later won. His maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga occurred on 10 May as the Eagles had already been crowned champions, and he started in a 1–2 loss at FC Porto.[5]

Valencia

On 20 August 2014, Cancelo joined Valencia CF on a one-year loan deal.[6] His La Liga debut occurred on 25 September, as he played the entire 3–0 home win over Córdoba CF;[7] he finished his first season with 13 matches, across all competitions.

On 25 May 2015, Cancelo agreed to a permanent contract with the Spanish club until 30 June 2021,[8][9] for a transfer fee rumoured to be of €15 million.[10]

International career

Cancelo represented Portugal in the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[11] He was also picked for the following edition, in Lithuania.[12]

With the under-20s, Cancelo appeared at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2014 Toulon Tournament.[13] He was featured in two games in the former competition, with the country reaching the round-of-16.

Cancelo was part of the under-21 squad that competed in the 2015 European Championships. He replaced left-back Raphaël Guerreiro midway through the second half of the 5–0 semi-final win against Germany for his only appearance of the tournament,[14] in a final runner-up finish to Sweden.[15]
