Villas-Boas on FC Porto's new Instagram page: “A young player's journey…” | OneFootball

On April 29, 2019, at exactly 6:53 pm, the final whistle sounded in FC Porto-Chelsea (3-1), the match that allowed the Dragons to celebrate winning the Youth League. Seven years later, this Wednesday, at the same time, FC Porto launched a new page on the social network Instagram, under the name “@FCPortoyouth”.

This official Dragons page aims to give visibility to and follow the development of FC Porto’s young athletes who dream of reaching the first team. The page will cover all levels of the blue-and-whites’ men’s football academy, also including the B team.

Although the team coached by João Brandão is professional, the reality is that it also has a very low average age, around 19.2 years, and is therefore likewise a space for the development of FC Porto’s young talent.

Moreover, the first post on this new page on the social network was signed by André Villas-Boas: “The path of a young FC Porto player is a difficult one, requiring great discipline, determination and ambition, but the reward is enormous. Not only for the pleasure of wearing the FC Porto shirt, but also for all the rewards that come with it, such as representing the club and dreaming of stepping onto the pitch at the Estádio do Dragão for our first team.” The president’s words are accompanied by an image of the Estádio do Dragão.

Finally, it should be noted that this new page expands the club’s digital options for anyone who wants to closely follow the entire FC Porto universe. Currently, on Instagram alone, there are already profiles dedicated to the first team (@FCPorto), sports (@FCPortosports), women’s football (@FCPortow), eSports (@FCPortoesports), the Dragon Force football schools (@FCPortoDragonForce), the Museum (@museuFCPorto) and the mascots (@dracoFCPorto and @vienaFCPorto).
