Calls for back-to-back titles from FC Porto fans before unveiling | OneFootball

A stage with live music and several stalls, offering something for every taste, helped draw in the fans who, long before the gates opened, were already filling the ring around the Dragão. There was a festive atmosphere and confidence in the squad, accompanied by calls to retain the title. “Last season was unforgettable for everyone and the expectation is to do even better. FC Porto haven’t lost quality and whoever comes in is there to add something. Farioli? He was a great surprise last season and everything points to it going well,” said Beatriz Santos, who was accompanied by João Soares and Beatriz Amaral. “We hope to be champions again and reach the Champions League quarter-finals. Against Torreense, in the Super Cup [1 August, in Coimbra], the aim is to start winning,” João added.

António José is a familiar face on these occasions. In his hands, he carried a sign asking the coach for a tie. He keeps 21 ties from coaches of the club’s various sports. Farioli’s gift, he assures, has already been arranged, although he has meanwhile received a cap from the Italian. “I hope it will be like last season and that FC Porto retain the title. Diogo Costa, if he stays, is the best signing. I already have my ticket for the Super Cup and it’s there to be won,” he said, remaining optimistic. After several years working in the United States, David Rodrigues returned to Portugal. He was director of the blue-and-white branch in New Jersey and remains connected to that community. “FC Porto will be the same as in 2025/26. We have a brave president. Diogo Costa belongs very much with the Porto fans,” he added, caught up in the enthusiasm that could be felt at the Dragão.
