Luís Martins (footballer, born June 1992)
Portuguese footballer
Luís Carlos Ramos Martins (Portuguese: [luˈiʒ mɐɾˈtĩʃ]; born 10 June 1992) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a left-back.
Club career
Benfica and Gil Vicente
Born in Lamego, Viseu District, Martins was promoted to S.L. Benfica's first team for the 2011–12 season. He made his official debut for the club on 2 November 2011, starting in a UEFA Champions League group stage game against FC Basel and being replaced at the hour-mark of the 1–1 home draw by Miguel Vítor.
Martins started the 2012–13 campaign with Benfica's reserves, in the Segunda Liga. On 9 January 2013, however, he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Gil Vicente F.C. of the Primeira Liga. He scored his first goal for the latter on 18 August of that year, closing a 2–0 home win over Académica de Coimbra.
Spain
On 1 September 2014, Martins agreed to a four-year deal with Granada CF from Spain, for an undisclosed fee. He played his first match in La Liga on the 27th, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 6–0 away loss to FC Barcelona.
On 24 August 2015, Martins was loaned to Segunda División side CA Osasuna for one year. Late into the 2017 January transfer window, after only 73 minutes of action upon his return to the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes, he joined C.S. Marítimo on a two-year loan.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Luís Martins (footballer, born June 1992)” as portuguese footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as portuguese footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q870710. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1992, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
