Porto players celebrate the club's 24th championship title and fourth consecutive in 2008–09.
Futebol Clube do Porto is a Portuguese
sports club founded in 1893 in
Porto . Its
association football team played its first competitive matches in 1911, when it took part and won the first edition of the
José Monteiro da Costa Cup .
[1] Two years later, the club began competing in the Campeonato do Porto , a regional championship organised by the
Porto Football Association .
[2] In 1921–22, Porto won the inaugural
Campeonato de Portugal , a nationwide competition to determine the Portuguese champions from among the winners of the different regional championships.
[3]
[4]
The
Primeira Liga was established in 1934–35 as an experimental nationwide competition played in a league format, and was contested in parallel with the Campeonato de Portugal.
[3] Porto were its first winners and repeated the triumph in 1938–39, when it became the official top-tier championship in place of the Campeonato de Portugal, which was converted into the
Taça de Portugal .
[3]
[5] Porto is one of three clubs, together with
Benfica and
Sporting CP , to have never been relegated from the Primeira Liga since its establishment.
[6] Between 1940 and 1978, Porto endured the darkest period of its league history, during which they collected only two titles (1955–56 and 1958–59),
[7] and recorded an all-time low ninth place (1969–70).
[8] Under the
presidency of
Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa (1982–2024), Porto experienced routine league success, winning the competition 23 times in 40 seasons – five of them in succession (1995–1999), a record in Portuguese football.
[7] The club achieved their first league and cup
double in 1956, and have repeated it eight more times (1988, 1998, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2020, 2022).
[9]
[10]
Porto's debut in international competitions took place in 1956–57, when they competed in the
second edition of the European Cup .
[11] They reached their
first European final in 1984 , losing the
Cup Winners' Cup to
Juventus ,
[12] and won their first European silverware three years later, beating
Bayern Munich in the
1987 European Cup Final .
[13] The following season, Porto collected the
European Super Cup and
Intercontinental Cup trophies.
[14]
[15] In 2003, they
won the
UEFA Cup for the first time,
[16] becoming the only Portuguese team to have won any of these three international trophies.
[17]
[18]
[19]
As of the
2023–24 season , Porto have won 85 major honours,
[a] which include 30 Primeira Liga, 20 Taça de Portugal, 1
Taça da Liga , 23
Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira , 4 Campeonato de Portugal, 2
European Cup/UEFA Champions League , 2 UEFA Cup/Europa League, 1
UEFA Super Cup , and 2
Intercontinental Cup .
