FC Porto opens Dragon Force football school in Turquel | OneFootball

FC Porto will open a new Dragon Force Football School in Turquel, in the municipality of Alcobaça, strengthening its presence in the Central region and bringing the total number of Dragon Force schools in operation in the 2026/27 season to 40. The new project is the result of a partnership with União Desportiva de Turquel, a club with a long history in the region and known for its work in developing young athletes.

Dragon Force Turquel aims to establish itself as a benchmark in local football education, giving young players a learning environment aligned with FC Porto’s methodology, combining technical, educational, and personal development.

The new school will cater to children and young people across various age groups, offering structured training plans, specialized technical support, and opportunities for progress within a nationally recognized development philosophy.

União Desportiva de Turquel president Fábio Carreira highlighted the importance of this partnership for the future of the club and local youth. “This partnership with FC Porto’s Dragon Force is a source of enormous pride for União Desportiva de Turquel and for the whole community. It is recognition of the work the club has carried out over the years in youth development and represents an extraordinary opportunity for our young athletes to have access to a methodology of excellence,” he said.

The club official also added that the creation of the school will make it possible to “strengthen the club’s momentum, attract more young people to sport, and contribute to the growth of youth football development in the municipality of Alcobaça.”

Dragon Force director Ricardo Frey-Ramos underlined the significance of this partnership for the expansion of the project in the country: “The opening of Dragon Force in Turquel represents another important step in the expansion of a project that aims to be ever closer to local communities. We found in União Desportiva de Turquel a partner with enormous passion for youth development, a strong connection to the region, and a vision aligned with FC Porto’s values. We are very excited about what we can build together.”

The official presentation of Dragon Force Turquel will be marked by the Super Treino Dragon Force, to be held on July 4. Registration is already open on the Dragon Force website, and places are limited.
