Football career

Born in Porto, Meixedo spent his entire youth career in the ranks of FC Porto. He made his LigaPro debut for FC Porto B on 18 August 2019 in a 1–1 draw at home to Varzim, as a 69th-minute substitute for Rodrigo Valente after the dismissal of Ricardo Silva.[1] The following 26 July he was in the first team's matchday squad for the first time, remaining unused as Diogo Costa played in the 2–1 loss at S.C. Braga on the last day of the season for the Primeira Liga champions.[2]
