Tiago Parreira Parente (born 14 January 2004) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Primeira Liga club Estoril and the Portugal national under-21 team.

Club career

Born in Sintra in the Lisbon District, Parente played as a youth for Casa Pia A.C. and C.F. Os Belenenses, both in the capital city, before joining G.D. Estoril Praia in 2017. On 25 July 2022, having already represented Estoril's under-23 team at age 18, he was loaned for two years to Sporting CP and their under-19 team.[1]

On 17 May 2025, Parente made his professional debut on the last day of the Primeira Liga season, playing the last 18 minutes as a substitute in a 4–0 home win over C.F. Estrela da Amadora. He had spent the campaign in the under-23 team, scoring once and assisting twice in 20 games, while training with the first team under manager Ian Cathro.[2][3]

Parente signed a new contract on 10 July 2025, linking him to the Canarinho until 2029.[3] On 11 August, the new season began with Estrela again the visitors to the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota; Parente played the full game and scored the first goal of a 1–1 draw, assisted by right-back Pedro Carvalho.[4]

International career

Parente was part of the Portugal under-18 team that competed at the 2022 Mediterranean Games in Oran, Algeria.[5] After playing three times for the under-20 team in late 2023, he had his first call-up to the under-21 team in August 2025, in new manager Luís Freire's first squad.[6] He made his debut on 5 September by playing the entirety of a 5–0 home win over Azerbaijan in Barcelos in 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification;[7] on 10 October he scored his first goal for the team in another qualifier, a 3–0 win over Bulgaria in Portimão.[8]
