FC Porto marked the start of the celebrations for its 133rd anniversary on Monday morning with the traditional flag-raising ceremony next to Gate 1 of the Estádio do Dragão, to the sound of the Club anthem.

André Villas-Boas also placed two wreaths by the busts of Rui Filipe and Pavão, in a tribute also dedicated to members, players, coaches and directors who have passed away.

The ceremony then continued at the Dragão Arena, where the Porto president paid tribute to Alfredo Quintana, leaving a wreath in memory of the former Portuguese-Cuban handball player, who died in 2021.

The morning’s events concluded with the customary visit to the FC Porto Mausoleum, where nine prominent figures in the club’s blue-and-white history are laid to rest.
