FC Porto go into the 2026/27 league as favourites | OneFootball

The 2026/27 women’s Liga Solverde.pt has not started yet, but expectations are already high. After winning their second consecutive national championship and their first Portuguese Cup, both against Sp. Braga, FC Porto once again face the finalists of the last two editions of the competition. In their most recent clash, in the Iberian Cup final, the Minho side won 3-2. Saturday’s Super Cup comes before the league meetings, scheduled for 14 November at Dragão Arena and 24 January at AMCO Arena during the first phase.

Coached by Miguel Coelho, the Porto side begin the new season with a squad of great quality and are favourites to retain the title in the Invicta. Even so, Sp. Braga, Benfica – champions in 2024/25 – and Sporting have strengthened their squads and are the main contenders to challenge the blue-and-white supremacy.

Alongside the Portuguese athletes are players from countries such as Germany, Angola, Argentina, Belgium, Bosnia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Cape Verde, the Czech Republic, Cuba, Slovakia, the United States of America, Finland, Italy, Montenegro, Peru, Poland, Serbia and Ukraine. The growing competitiveness of the competition has been matched by greater interest from fans and the media, also driven by the rivalry between clubs such as Benfica, FC Porto, Sporting, Sp. Braga and V. Guimarães.
