FC Porto museum marks 70 years since the Dragons' UEFA debut | OneFootball

The 2026–2027 season marks 70 years since FC Porto made its debut in UEFA competitions. This milestone serves as a starting point to revisit facts and curiosities and to show how the Dragons’ international journey helped transform the city of Porto into a European Capital of Football. Between September 16, 2026 and February 16, 2027, the themed area Great News, included with the Tour FC Porto – Museum + Stadium ticket, will host at the FC Porto Museum the first part of a Temporary Memory Activation (ATM). The initiative brings visitors closer to the global dimension and winning DNA that set FC Porto apart, by far the most successful Portuguese club in international football.

The journey through the history of FC Porto’s European campaigns is presented as a continuous path of inspiration and overcoming challenges, supported by a remarkable collection of trophies, but also by many other stories. The newspaper O Porto (1949–1986) and the magazine Dragões (1985–…), its successor and the Club’s official publication, play a privileged role in preserving that memory. Through their pages, it is possible to discover curiosities and remember presidents, coaches and players who, between 1956–1957 and 2025–2026, left their name linked to the Dragons’ journey in UEFA competitions.

Porto: European Capital of Football is the ATM that allows Tour FC Porto visitors to deepen their knowledge of the Club’s European dimension. The exhibition also marks the 40th anniversary of the 1986–1987 European Cup triumph, considered the big-bang of FC Porto’s Universal Shine, an expression of an honours list that includes 2 Champions Leagues, 2 Europa Leagues, 1 UEFA Super Cup and 2 Intercontinental Cups. The second part of the initiative, scheduled to begin in February, will explore this milestone in greater detail.
