Fernando Couto (Captain)
Inspirational in defence, Couto is reputed for his power and fighting spirit. Not quite the role model he is on the field, Couto was banned for a doping offence.

Luis Figo
FIFA World Player of the Year, a midfielder of the highest pedigree. Known for his vision and tact, Figo dribbles, crosses, creates and scores goals in the majestic style of a maestro.

Rui Costa
A brilliant midfielder, he holds his own alongside Figo. On his day, Costa can be a nightmare for defences with his speed, dribbling and assists.

Sergio Conceicao
A versatile player, Conceicao plays in the role of a winger as well as a midfielder. Busy on the field, he intercepts as well as he creates openings.

Joao Pinto
A born striker, Pinto revels in linking midfield and attack. He is crafty and has proven his worth as a goal scorer.

Nuno Gomes
This baby-faced striker is nippy and dangerous in the box. Gomes is the hit man upfront for Portugal.
