Sports / Fitness / Recreation / FC Porto
Portuguese term or phrase: aspirantes
Hi everyone! I'm translating information on FC Porto. I've never heard of 'aspirants' used before in this context in English - would 'newcomers' or 'amatuers' be suitable? Or what is the term used in UK English? Thanks for your help!

O FC Porto é campeão de corta-mato em todas as categorias. Numa claríssima demonstração de forças, os portistas são campeões em ***aspirantes***, iniciados, juniores e seniores, um pleno nunca visto até então.

agree  T o b i a s: From the context I think it's fairly clear that the term refers to an objective category rather than a subjective description.
