FC Porto Vintage off to two comfortable wins at Setúbal Masters | OneFootball

Who doesn’t remember Eduardo Filipe, David Tavares or Tiago Rocha, respectively the third (271), seventh (207) and ninth (202) most-capped Portuguese handball players of all time? And also Sérgio Morgado (190) and Álvaro Rodrigues (158), or even Filipe Mota – who scored the first goal at the Dragão Arena -, João Pinto and Jorge Ribeiro? The reality is that these and other names make up FC Porto Vintage, now a team within the blue-and-white universe, but which began as Porto Masters, between two clubs with an enviable record at European championships in this age group: champions in Nice 2015, Gondomar 2017, Turin 2019, Granollers 2022, Tampere 2023 and Paredes 2024.

This time in Setúbal – the first matches were played today, the easiest ones, ending 21-7 and 24-3 against the Spanish sides Maristas and Valladolid. David Tavares and Jorge Ribeiro were the MVPs, respectively. “The idea is to reclaim the title lost last year. The main opponent and current champion is a very strong team, a genuine French selection, with appearances at European Championships, World Championships and the Olympics, but we want to win,” captain Jorge Ribeiro told O JOGO.
