Frederico Nuno Faro Varandas (born 19 September 1979) is a Portuguese sports executive, medical doctor and former commissioned military captain of the Portuguese Army, who has been the president of Sporting CP since 2018.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] With a presidency initially marked by contestation, the Varandas tenure would become the third most titled in the club's history, behind João Rocha's and Ribeiro Ferreira's, as well as characterized by a discreet presidential position and the renewal of the Alvalade Stadium. During the club's last election, in 2022, Varandas was elected with 85.8% of the votes.
