In the same year Portela managed to secure a place in the 2018 World Cup via the South and Central American qualifications . Against his first round opponent Peter Wright , however, he lost 3-1.

After another successful qualification for the 2019 World Cup , he met the Dutchman Ron Meulenkamp this time , despite a 2-0 lead in the sets, Portela was still defeated in the end.
