Duarte Lopes Cunha (born 25 January 2008) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger for Porto B.
Club career Born in Vila Nova de Cerveira, Cunha was trained by FC Porto, which he joined at the age of 9. He first distinguished himself in the youth teams with the Portuguese football club, before signing his first professional contract there in December 2024.
International career Cunha was named in Portugal U17's squad for the 2025 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. Portugal reached the final of the competition after winning on penalties against Italy (after a 2–2 draw). While it was Romário Cunha (no relation) who took the spotlight during the penalty shootout with his saves, Duarte Cunha is also mentioned as the best player of this semi-final, notably the decisive pass for Stevan's goal to make it 1-1. The team then claimed the trophy by defeating France 3–0 in the final, with Cunha once again in the foreground, scoring his side's second goal.
