Núrio Fortuna, a left-back from Luanda, Angola, stands out as one of the most consistent performers in Belgium’s top flight with KAA Gent. Raised in the famous youth systems of Portugal’s Benfica and Sporting, he began his professional career at Braga before experiencing stints at AEL Limassol (Cyprus), Charleroi, and, since 2020, at KAA Gent.
Standing at 1.77m, Núrio is the archetype of the modern full-back: powerful, tactically astute, and technically gifted. His attacking prowess—particularly with crossing and build-up play—complements his defensive solidity, making him a real asset at both ends of the pitch. He played a key role in Gent’s 2022 Belgian Cup triumph and has left his mark in European competition, notably in the Conference League.
