Andre Luis has been named the best foreign player of the 2025/26 BetKing Extra-League. The Brazilian universal player collected 59% of the votes in the poll on the Ukrainian Futsal Association's Telegram channel — a convincing majority that left no doubt about the winner.
In a season that was historic for Athletic Futsal, crowned by Extra-League silver and qualification for the Champions League, Luis stood out for his bright individual play and remarkable work rate on the court. His game combined Brazilian technique with the discipline and commitment valued by the coaching staff.
Andre was the only Dnipro player to feature in every match of the BetKing Extra-League and the Ukrainian Cup. Such consistency and reliability throughout the campaign speak to his exceptional physical readiness and the leadership role the Brazilian carried from the first round to the last.
His contribution to the championship silver is impossible to overstate. He was on the court in all the decisive play-off ties — from the quarter-final against Cardinal-Avangard to the final series against Kyiv's HIT, where Athletic Futsal earned the silver medals.
Being recognised as the league's best foreign player was a fitting conclusion to the season for a man who embodied the team's stability and craft. Ahead of Andre and his teammates lies a debut in the UEFA Champions League, where the Brazilian's experience and class will be needed by the club more than ever.
