FC Porto hold a minute's silence for Jorge Costa before training | OneFootball

Before the start of training this Wednesday at Olival, FC Porto’s squad and coaching staff observed a minute of silence in tribute to Jorge Costa.

The tribute took place one day after the first anniversary of the death of the former Dragons captain and director, who passed away at the age of 53 on August 5, 2025, following a cardiorespiratory arrest at FC Porto’s training center.

A wreath was also laid next to the plaque bearing Jorge Costa’s name, which currently marks the location at Olival.

A former central defender, Jorge Costa wore the FC Porto shirt for much of his career and won 21 titles with the club, including eight national championships, a Champions League title, and a UEFA Cup. In 2024, he returned to the Dragons to take up a management role and was involved in the club’s 31st national championship triumph.
