Portuguese players at Fulham[]

To date, there have been a total of nineteen Portuguese players to have been at Fulham, with four of these having represented Portugal at full international level. Eleven of these players have played for Fulham's first team, and eight others have been at the club without making a first team appearance.

The first and most popular of all Portuguese players who have been at the club, Luís Boa Morte made 250 appearances for the first team and became a fan favourite during his time at the club, which included helping Fulham gain promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 2001. He would later return to the club as assistant manager to Marco Silva in 2021.

Another player who made an impression at Fulham was the then 19-year-old Fábio Carvalho, who switched international allegiance from England to his birth nation of Portugal. He enjoyed a fantastic breakthrough season with the club in 2021-22, in which he helped achieve another promotion to the Premier League, before departing to Liverpool.
