Biography
João Pedro Neves Filipe, known as Jota, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger. Born on 30 March 1999 in Lisbon, Jota developed through Benfica's youth academy, making his senior debut with the club's first team in 2019 after playing for Benfica B from 2018. His early career saw a loan to La Liga side Real Valladolid in 2020, followed by a move to Scottish Premiership club Celtic in 2021. At Celtic, he won the league title and Scottish League Cup before the club signed him permanently for £6.5 million in summer 2022. Jota is recognised for his passing range and dribbling ability, key assets in his winger role. His career has since taken him to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad in July 2023 for a reported £25 million, then Ligue 1 club Rennes in August 2024, before returning to Celtic in January 2025. At international level, Jota represented Portugal across multiple youth tiers: he was part of the under-17 team that won the 2016 European Championship, the under-19 team that won the 2018 European Championship, and the under-21 team that finished runners-up at the 2021 European Championship. Footballers at Jota's level combine technical skill, tactical awareness, and physical conditioning to compete at elite club and international levels. Born under Aries, his birth date aligns with the sign's association with direct action and competitive spirit.
