The 22-year-old forward moved to Palace in 2023 and has since made 19 appearances in all competitions, scoring his first goal for the club – a last-minute equaliser against Southampton – back in April 2025.
França spent last season on loan in Campeonato Brasileiro Série A – the competition in which he initially broke through with Flamengo – at Vasco da Gama, where he featured 24 times.
After scoring four times in pre-season for Palace, França now joins Alverca – who won back-to-back promotions to reach the top-flight in 2025 – as they look to continue to establish themselves in the Portuguese top division.
Everyone at the club wishes Matheus the very best of luck with his loan spell.
