Vladimir Stojkovic reflected on ten months without a club in a heartfelt post on social media. The goalkeeper who represented the Sporting in the youth teams between 2007 and 2019, he looked back at the path he has taken since leaving Al Faisaly, in March 2025. «Ten months of 'almost' deals that seemed done and then fell apart. It hasn't been easy, but I never stopped. Every day I trained, stayed focused and remained ready. Not all days were good! Discipline made the difference", admitted Vladimir Stojkovic's nephew, who played 15 games for the Lions' first team in the 2007/08 season, and son of Vladan Stojkovic, former Ovarense and Leça goalkeeper. The 29-year-old player highlighted the central role of his family during the last ten months, which culminated in an apparently happy ending: «After all this waiting... I finally have good news to share soon, After all this waiting... I finally have good news to share soon. The return is loading.” Stojkovic also published several portraits of training in the gym, on football fields and even in gardens. The 29-year-old goalkeeper represented the main team of Leixões and Académica, before heading to Saudi Arabia, in 2022.
