Futebol Clube do Porto (pron. IPA: [futɨ'bɔɫ 'klub(ɨ) du 'poɾtu]) - short: FC Porto, FCP - is a Portuguese sports club, best known for its football section which is currently the best-ranked Portuguese football team in the world by IFFHS. It was found during the early 1890s to have been established in Porto in 1893 by a wine-salesman António Nicolau de Almeida. He first had contact with the game of football in one of his trips to England. The club was revived in 1906 by Monteiro da Costa.

The football home ground is now the Estádio do Dragão (finished in 2003 as a venue for Euro 2004) after 51 years playing in the Estádio das Antas. Porto is, along with Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, one of the "Big Three" clubs in Portugal. The club has the best international record by a Portuguese team and has the second best internal record (just behind rivals Benfica) in the Portuguese Championship, having participated in it 72 times, playing 1988 games, winning 1287, drawing 369, losing 332, scoring 4427 goals and conceding 1876, having 3204 points as of the end of the 2005-06 season. Porto won the UEFA Champions League twice (one still as the ECC) and the UEFA Cup once. It was the first team since the Liverpool 76-77 squad to win the Champions League after winning the UEFA Cup.

FC Porto is also a leading force in other sports: the handball and basketball team are regular contenders in the Portuguese national titles, and the rink hockey section is amongst the best in the sport. The new arena near the stadium will be completed soon; in past years the non-professional home grounds were scattered in northwestern cities of Portugal (such as Gondomar and Espinho).

Commercially, FC Porto has several stores called Loja Azul (Blue Store) scattered around Porto including two used with official supplier Nike. Since 1994 a merchandising goods fair called Portomania is organized during the pre-season, and edits one of the older club related publications in Europe, a monthly 60-page full colour magazine called Dragões (Dragons) that has existed since the early '80s..

Porto supporters and players are often called the tripeiros, though the term the Andrades is also popular after a family with that name sponsored the club for several years. However, since the 1980s, it is seen as somewhat derogatory.

[edit] Football

Its first official trophy, the "Union of the North cup", was conquered in 1911 In the following years it became one of the most important clubs in Portugal, but with less presence in comparison with the Lisbon rivals. In spite of this, the team still went on to win the first two Portuguese championships. Only four titles followed until the beginning of the 1980s.

In 1982 Pinto da Costa took control of Porto. The next decades turned what was the fourth team in the overall history of Portuguese football into the biggest title cruncher of the past 20 years. Since 1982, Porto has won 14 titles, achieving the record Penta (five leagues in a row) in 1999, eight Portuguese cups, and has a majority of Supercups, having won 15 out of a possible 27. Some of these victories are said by the very partisan (mainly the supporters of the big Lisbon clubs and the Lisbon media) to have been shadowed by corruption and bribery, even though the courts have opted to always drop the charges. Much the same is said in Oporto of the methods whereby Benfica especially have achieved some of their success.

[edit] International titles

[edit] 1987 - European Champions Cup

When Pinto da Costa joined as president, Porto was the only club from the "big three" without European honours, but that quickly changed. The first final was played against Juventus F.C. for the 1984 Cup Winners' Cup, but Porto lost. Three years later, the team led by Artur Jorge, the name hand-picked by Pedroto, won its first European honour, in a thrilling 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the European Cup 1986-87.

Final FC Bayern Munich 2-1

The following year Porto won the European Super Cup, against Ajax Amsterdam, and the Intercontinental Cup, against Peñarol, making them the first Portuguese winners of the two cups.

[edit] 1988-2002

The following 16 years saw Porto as a midrange team - often in the final 16, but not progressing much further. The exception was in 1994, when Porto reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The semi-final, decided on a single game, resulted in a heavy loss (3-0) at the hands of Johann Cruyff's FC Barcelona, in the Nou Camp.

[edit] 2003 - UEFA Cup

In 2003, under the guidance of José Mourinho, Porto made a thrilling UEFA Cup run, topped with a victory in a fantastic final against Celtic in Seville.

[edit] 2004 - Champions League

The following season meant a higher challenge, but despite a slow start which included a 1-3 loss against Real Madrid, Porto never lost again in the Champions League, relegating O. Marseille to the UEFA Cup (where they reached the final), Manchester United at the Old Trafford in the dying minutes of play, O. Lyon and Depor. Porto beat Monaco 3-0 in the Final played in Arena AufSchalke, becoming the first team to win the competition outside the Big 5 since Ajax in the year of 1995.

Final AS Monaco FC 3-0

After the victory, Porto became the Portuguese side with the most European cups won - 2 CL/ECC plus a UEFA Cup, compared with the two ECC by Benfica and the one CWC by Sporting.

However the victory was the pinnacle of their success, as José Mourinho left to take over as coach at Chelsea FC, many players also departed. They also went through several coaching changes during the 2004/05 season, ending up finishing second to Benfica in the league (place achieved in the last matchday, after trailing third during most of the season), and were eliminated in their Champions League cup defense in the Round of 16 by Internazionale.

On December 12 2004, FC Porto won the last-held Intercontinental Cup, by beating Once Caldas from Colombia at an impressive 8-7 after penalty shoot-out.

Porto is also one of the founding members of G-14.

[edit] Estádio do Dragão

Estádio do Dragão (English: Dragon Stadium, literally: Stadium of the Dragon) is a football stadium in Porto, Portugal that has an all-seated capacity of 50,948.

Estádio do Dragao on opening night (note: the cranes and suspended ropes used by acrobats that night)


The stadium was built as a replacement for FC Porto's old ground, Estadio das Antas (Dolmens' Stadium), and as a venue for EURO 2004. It was completed in 2003, some months after what was expected since in the February 2001, Porto mayor Rui Rio changed the estate distribution, criticizing the plan because it included high-scale housing and shopping for the area and forcing the chairman of FC Porto Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa to halt all building operations, which were only resumed after a consensus was agreed. As of today, the stadium, housing and shopping areas have been built but the city hall has apparently let go of its interest to build the school and public gardens which are part of the plan, resurfacing old arguments about the mayor's decision in 2001. As requested by UEFA, the old stadium was demolished, and the space used for the media during the Euro 2004, and in the following months, the construction of the buildings that will form the new urban settlement called "Cidade das Antas" (City of Antas) progressively started.

Main Entrance

Designed by Manuel Salgado and built by the Grupo Amorim, it cost €97.755.318, of which €18.430.956 was supported by the Portuguese taxpayers. To support costs, each stand carries one or two sponsor names, edp for the South (Sul) end, tmn and Sapo adsl in the East (Nascente) stand, PT and TV Cabo for the West (Poente) stand and finally Coca-Cola in the North (Norte) Stand. Away fans are placed in the left corner of the North stand, while FC Porto supporter groups (SuperDragões and Colectivo Ultras 95) are one on each top, although initially both groups were in the South stand.

The stadium's name is derived from the presence of a dragon on the crest of FC Porto, which is composed of an old football under the old crest of the City of Porto.
Bronze logo
It is also the nickname of FC Porto fans. Other alternatives were considered, such as Estádio das Antas (officially, unlike the former stadium) or named after Artur de Sousa Pinga, José Maria Pedroto (former players and managers) or Pinto da Costa (running president for over 20 years).

Inaugurated in 16 November 2003 against FC Barcelona, FC Porto won 2-0 with goals by Derlei and Hugo Almeida. However, due to severe turf problems, FC Porto was forced to play in the Estádio das Antas, until the turf was replanted by mid February 2004.

The stadium further cemented its reputation as an all-round sports and entertainment venue when it secured the Portuguese leg of The Rolling Stones 2006 world tour, fighting off competition from stadia in Lisbon. This represents something of a coup for the city of Porto over the capital.

Main article: FC Porto (handball)

While not as popular as football or rink hockey, the celebrations of the 1998-99 titles were only passed by the celebrations of the Penta of the football team, as the previous victory in the championship was in 1968, after dominating the league in much of the 50s. To support costs, like in other clubs, the section also bears the name of a sponsor: FC Porto Vitalis.
