João Pedro Cavaco Cancelo (born 27 May 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Italian club Juventus and the Portugal national team. Mainly a right back, he can also play as a right winger or a left back.
He started playing with Benfica, joining Spanish club Valencia in 2014 at the age of 20, initially on loan. After 91 competitive appearances for the latter, he competed in the Serie A with Inter Milan on loan, and later with Juventus with whom he signed in 2018, winning the league and the Supercoppa Italiana in his first season.
All youth levels comprised, Cancelo won 75 caps for Portugal and scored three goals. He made his senior debut in 2016.
Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, Cancelo started playing football with local Barreirense. He joined Benfica's youth system in 2007 at the age of 13, where he played as both right and left back.
On 28 July 2012, Cancelo made his debut with Benfica's first team in a friendly against Gil Vicente where he played the full 90 minutes as a right back. Despite being registered with the B-side, he was touted as a possible replacement to Maxi Pereira in the seniors; until 2013 he also represented the juniors, and on 18 May of that year he scored the two decisive goals in a 2–1 win over Rio Ave to win the national championship.
