Scouting course launches FC Porto Football Sciences Institute 2026 | OneFootball

The Scouting and Analysis course inaugurates the new educational offerings of the FC Porto Football Sciences Institute and will take place from January 5 to 20, 2026. It consists of 20 hours of training available in either in-person or synchronous online formats, including the opportunity for an immersive experience observing an FC Porto game at the Estádio do Dragão.

“The courses are entirely taught by FC Porto professionals, so we share not only the theoretical knowledge of our professionals but also the practical experience they have acquired over the years by working in a highly demanding environment like FC Porto,” highlights Nelson Oliveira, Head of Recruitment at FC Porto.

The previous two editions sold out quickly, demonstrating a growing interest in these areas and confidence in the training provided by the FC Porto Football Sciences Institute, which “we reciprocate by sharing all the theoretical foundations of our work, but also everything that is part of our daily routine, especially what we do with the main team, which is also the focus of the students,” adds Carlos Pintado, Head of the Analysis and Observation Department at FC Porto.

“Our commitment was to integrate the best student from each course into the FC Porto structure, and in this course, we have additionally integrated three resources. It has been proven that the FC Porto Football Sciences Institute can be a tool for talent acquisition,” explains João Borges, vice-president of FC Porto and member of the Executive Committee of SAD.

Registrations are open, and until December 15, 2025, participants can benefit from an early registration discount.

The upcoming courses of the FC Porto Football Sciences Institute for 2025 will be announced soon.
