A recent poll by Pitagórica, commissioned by JN, TSF, TVI and CNN Portugal, confirms what many already suspected: FC Porto is the club that clearly dominates preferences in Invicta.

According to the results, 63% of Porto residents say they support the blue and white emblem - a proportion especially high among the younger layers of the population.

Benfica occupies second place, but far behind, with only 10% of preferences. Sporting follows, with about 5% of respondents identifying themselves as Sporting fans.

Despite sympathies for other local clubs, the study shows that the connection between FC Porto and the inhabitants of Porto continues to be very strong and almost symbiotic, reinforcing the Porto identity in the region.
