One of Cape Verde’s promising young basketball talents, Leandro Monteiro, is taking the next step in his career by joining Unicaja’s U22 program for the 2026–27 season.
Cape Verdean basketball continues to produce young talent capable of reaching the international stage. Leandro Monteiro, 19, considered one of the country’s promising young players, has joined Unicaja Alhaurín de la Torre U22 in Spain.
Monteiro will wear No. 5 and compete in Liga U, continuing his development within the Unicaja Málaga basketball structure.
One of Cape Verde’s Rising Prospects 🇨🇻
Monteiro developed his game with ABC in Cape Verde and later gained valuable experience representing Kriol Star during the Road to BAL 2026.
His performances and development have established him as a young Cape Verdean prospect to follow as he takes his game to Europe.
The move to Spain represents a significant opportunity for Monteiro to develop in a competitive basketball environment and continue building his career against high-level young talent.
The Next Chapter: Spain 🇪🇸
At only 19 years old, Monteiro has plenty of basketball ahead of him. Joining Unicaja's U22 setup gives him the opportunity to develop his game, adjust to European basketball and compete within the structure of an established Spanish organization.
For Cape Verde, Monteiro becomes another young player representing the country internationally — and one of the emerging prospects worth watching closely over the coming seasons.
