Ludogorets won the National League for the 13th time in a row. In the first phase of the competition, the team achieved 75 points in 30 games, which made the team reach first place overall, qualifying for the playoffs for the title.
In the second half, a draw and the last victory were enough to guarantee another cup. Rwan commented that one of the reasons that made him sign with the club was its history of winning on the national stage.

It fought for all competitions, especially the national ones and I am very honored to be part of another beautiful page in the Club’s history. Winning titles is always very good and they are fruits of a job very well done by the team”, concluded the player.
At 22 years old, Rwan initially stood out in Santos’ youth categories, in the runner-up of the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Junior, when he competed for the competition’s star award. There were nine games, with six goals and two assists distributed.
