Dani Alves Becomes Co-Owner of Portuguese Third-Division Club São João de Ver

The 42-year-old re-enters football as an investor following the annulment of his conviction.

Overview

  • Sporting Clube de São João de Ver officially announced Dani Alves as a co-owner of the club in Portugal’s third tier.
  • Reporting from MaisFutebol indicates he acquired 50% of the shares and could seek full ownership after the season, which has not been confirmed by the club.
  • ESPN Brasil and MaisFutebol report he is considering registering to play for the team this winter and finishing the season on the field.
  • Alves has not played professionally since January 2023, when Mexican club Pumas dismissed him following an allegation in Barcelona.
  • The Catalonia High Court later annulled his conviction citing insufficient evidence, and the club framed his arrival as bringing global vision, a winning mindset and ambition.
