Edgar Pacheco: Portugal-Angola winger joins Atletico CP on free transfer from Differdange 03

Portugal-Angola winger Edgar Pacheco has joined Atletico CP on a free transfer from Differdange 03 in Luxembourg’s BGL Ligue. The 26-year-old left-sided attacker moves into Portugal’s Liga 3 after his contract with Differdange expired, allowing the Lisbon club to secure his services without paying a fee.

Pacheco, who is comfortable operating on the left wing, strengthens an Atletico CP side competing in the third tier of Portuguese football. The move marks a return to Portuguese football for the dual-nationality wide player and gives Atletico CP additional depth and versatility in wide attacking areas.

The transfer was completed on 24 July 2026, with Pacheco switching from a Differdange 03 team that has been a regular presence in Luxembourg’s top flight. His arrival comes with an estimated market value of around €100,000, underlining the scale of the opportunity for Atletico CP to add a player with established senior experience at no transfer cost.

Pacheco had been with Differdange in the BGL Ligue prior to sealing his move back to Portugal, gaining experience in a competitive European environment outside his home country. At 26, he arrives at Atletico CP in what is typically considered a player’s prime years, offering the club an immediate first-team option on the flank.

The confirmed free transfer sees Pacheco registered as an Atletico CP player in time for the new Liga 3 campaign.
