João Victor Alves Sena (12/07/2000) is the newest addition to Barça’s futsal team, following the end of his loan spell at Mallorca-based Illes Balears Palma Futsal. Last summer, the 24-year-old Brazilian sweeper signed a four-year deal with FC Barcelona, running until 30 June 2028, but remained on loan for an additional season with the Balearic club.
A strategic signing, Victor has established himself as one of the standout players on the futsal scene. With Palma, he won two UEFA Futsal Champions League titles (2024 and 2025) and an Intercontinental Cup (2024). As a full international with Brazil, he also lifted the trophy in the most recent Futsal World Cup.
Background
Born in Ferraz de Vasconcelos (São Paulo), João Victor completed his development at Brazilian club Pato before moving on to Corinthians and eventually arriving in Spain with Palma Futsal in January 2022.
Before making his name with the Balearic side, he had loan spells at Noia and Brazil’s Atlántico, where he won a national league title and was named best sweeper in the championship.
He returned to Illes Balears Palma Futsal in January 2024 and went on to win the Champions League in Yerevan—ironically, in a final against Barça. In the following edition of Europe’s top club competition, he was named MVP of the final stage held in Le Mans.
Top sweeper
Although he mainly plays at the back, João Victor excels in all facets of the game. In his natural position, he has shown strength, speed, and excellent reading of the game. He is also composed on the ball and makes intelligent runs off it. This season, he has scored 16 goals: 13 in the league, 1 in the cup, and 2 in the Champions League.
