Daniel Santos Bragança (born 27 May 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sporting CP.

Club career[]

Born in Fazendas de Almeirim, Santarém District, Bragança spent his entire youth career with Sporting CP.[2] On 10 January 2019, he was loaned to LigaPro club S.C. Farense until the end of the season.[3] He scored his first goal on 14 April to open a 3–1 home win against G.D. Estoril Praia,[4] and followed it five days later with another in a 1–1 draw with F.C. Penafiel also at the Estádio de São Luís.[5]

Bragança was loaned again to a second tier side on 9 August 2019, this time Estoril.[6] He was sent off on 3 November for pulling the hair of Académico de Viseu FC's Kelvin Medina, and received a two-match ban.[7]

Bragança made his Sporting competitive debut on 24 September 2020 in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League at home to Aberdeen, as an 86th-minute substitute for Wendel in a 1–0 victory.[8] Three days later he appeared in his first Primeira Liga game, a 2–0 away defeat of F.C. Paços de Ferreira where he featured 25 minutes in place of Luciano Vietto.[9] He finished the campaign with 25 official appearances – 20 in the league – for the champions, and was given an improved salary at its closure.[10]

On 18 December 2021, Bragança scored his first goal for Sporting, closing the 3–0 away defeat of Gil Vicente FC.[11]

International career[]

On 5 September 2019, Bragança won his first cap for the Portuguese under-21 team, playing the entire 4–0 win against Gibraltar for the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[12]
