Portugal return to the Estádio do Dragão to face Norway | OneFootball

Estádio do Dragão will once again host the national team when it stages the fourth matchday Nations League game between Portugal and Norway.

The match is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. on Sunday, October 4 (RTP1), and marks the return of the team of all Portuguese to the home of all Porto supporters.

It will be the national team’s 17th match at Estádio do Dragão, the venue where they secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup after a 9-1 thrashing of Armenia last November.

Before that, Portugal had already booked their place at the Qatar World Cup through a play-off against Turkey (3-1) and North Macedonia (2-0). In 2023, they also confirmed qualification for Euro 2024 by beating Slovakia (3-2) and, in November 2024, secured a place in the Nations League round of 16 – a competition they would go on to win – with a 5-1 thrashing of Poland.

In 2019, Estádio do Dragão was packed to watch Portugal lift the Nations League trophy after defeating Switzerland (3-1) and the Netherlands (1-0).

In 16 matches at Estádio do Dragão, Portugal have won 12, drawn three and lost just one, scoring 46 goals and conceding 14. Including the 30 matches played at Estádio das Antas, where they made their debut on November 23, 1952, the national team’s record at FC Porto grounds stands at 45 matches, 27 wins, 13 draws and only five defeats.
