Enzo de Pina Duarte dos Santos (born 28 January 2009) is a Luxembourgish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Regionalliga West club Borussia Dortmund II and the Luxembourg national team.
Son of Cape Verdean goalkeeper Cadabra, Duarte is a youth product of Swift Hesperange in Luxembourg, before moving to the youth academy of German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in January 2025, whilst already reporting offers from other big European clubs.[1][2][3] There he soon proved his talent and versatility in the midfield,[4] establishing himself as Dortmund under-17's playmaker.[2]
International career
Born in Luxembourg, Duarte also has Cape Verdean origins per his father.[1][3][5] He is a youth international for Luxembourg, having played for the under-16 and under-17.[6]
In March 2025, he was first called to the Luxembourg senior team for two friendlies against Sweden and Switzerland.[1][2][4][6] He was by then potentially only 72 hours short of beating Vincent Thill's precocity record, which would have made him Luxembourg's second youngest ever international.[2] But he did not play neither in the 1–0 beating of Sweden[7] nor in the 3–1 loss to Switzerland.[8][9][10]
He was selected again by Luc Holtz the following June, for two other friendlies, making his debut against the Republic of Ireland on 10 June 2025.[11][12]
