Player never played in a professional league so doesn't pass WP:FOOTY. He was a Porto youth player but that doesn't bring independent notability. The Portugal national team held a minute's silence for him, but that was just a day after his death, when there would have been WP:RUNOFTHEMILL news coverage.
