2026 Super Cup set: FC Porto start in Coimbra eyeing first trophy | OneFootball

The venue for the 2026 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira has now been decided. The clash between FC Porto and Torreense, which marks the official start of the new season in Portugal, will take place at the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra, a stadium currently used by Académica.

The date of the match, however, has not yet been confirmed. According to the schedule already released by the Portuguese Football Federation, the game could be played on 31 July, 1 August, or 2 August.

This match will pit the winners of the League and the Portuguese Cup against each other, in a season opener that already has its venue set, with only the exact date still awaiting confirmation. Coimbra will thus host one of the most significant matches at the start of the domestic season.

The Estádio Cidade de Coimbra has therefore once again been chosen for a Portuguese football showpiece, hosting a match with a trophy at stake in the very first weeks of the new season. For FC Porto, now managed by Francesco Farioli, it will be the first opportunity to win a title in 2026/27. Torreense, meanwhile, will look to cause an upset in a highly demanding contest.
