Igor Campos, the champions’ goalscoring keeper: 14 goals, every one before the fourth minute
Seven first-minute goals, four penalties saved and 22 goals in 29 matches between Brazil and Riyadh: the keeper who was also the champions’ top scorer.
Igor Campos is the goalkeeper who scored the most goals in Kings League MENA Split 1. The Brazilian finished the tournament with 14 goals in 11 matches for FWZ, more than any of his teammates, and every one of them came before the fourth minute. The last was the second goal of the final on 30 October in Riyadh, the night FWZ beat Ultra Chmicha 5-4 to lift the title, with Campos named Match MVP.
He arrived in Riyadh from Kings League Brazil, where he had scored 8 goals across two tournaments with Podpah Funkbol Clube. In MENA he almost doubled that tally in 11 matches, seven fewer than in Brazil, and the Kings League Brazil account gave him a post of his own: “Precisamos falar de Igor Campos” (“We need to talk about Igor Campos”).
A goal in the first minute, match after match
Igor Campos scored in 9 of FWZ’s 11 matches in Split 1, and in seven of them he was on the scoresheet in the first minute. He scored five braces, the first in the 7-4 win over Rising Peaks on Matchday 3 and the last in the Semi-Final. The only games he didn’t score in were the 4-2 win over RA2 FC and the 10-8 win over Turbo.
His 14 goals came from 28 shots: one in every two went in. No other goalkeeper scored more than 8 (Turbo’s Eslam Ahmed), and FWZ’s next-best scorer was Cristian Hernández with 10. Across the whole tournament, only three players scored more than him: Marc Granero and Moussa Sao with 16, and Igo Canindé with 15.
Two goals in the Semi-Final and the second goal of the final
FWZ were already 3-0 up against Red Zone by the third minute of the Semi-Final: Igor Campos scored in the first and the third, with a Fouad El Amrani goal in between. FWZ won 8-5 and were back on the pitch for the final that same Friday.
Against Ultra Chmicha, David Loaiza and Campos both scored in the second minute to make it 2-0. Ultra Chmicha levelled at 4-4 in the 42nd minute and Maicol Hernández made it 5-4 a minute later. It was his fourth Match MVP, after Matchday 1 against DR7, Matchday 3 against Rising Peaks and Matchday 9 against Ultra Chmicha, a game FWZ lost 8-6. Only Moussa Sao (6) and Marc Granero (5) finished with more.
69 saves and four penalties stopped
In goal, Igor Campos made 69 saves, the fifth-highest total of Split 1 (Ultra Chmicha’s Marc Briones led with 88), and stopped 65% of the shots on target he faced. He saved four penalties, the joint-best tally of the tournament alongside Marc Briones and Eslam Ahmed.
From Podpah Funkbol Clube to FWZ
Before Riyadh, he kept goal for Podpah Funkbol Clube in Kings League Brazil. In the 2025 Kings Cup Brazil he played 7 matches, scored 4 goals and made 35 saves; in Split 2 of the 2025/26 season he added 4 goals and 67 saves in 11 matches. Across both tournaments, Esaú Assunção was the only goalkeeper to score more.
In MENA he joined the team of Kuwaiti streamer Fwaz and his scoring took off. Between Brazil and Riyadh he now has 22 goals in 29 Kings League matches.
FWZ finished Split 1 with their goalkeeper as the team’s top scorer and the final’s MVP award in his hands.
