Zé Pedro back at Olival, title medal with FC Porto squad | OneFootball

Zé Pedro returned to Olival to receive the national champion’s medal for the 2025/26 season, in a visit marked by a symbolic moment alongside the Porto structure.

The centre-back played two matches for FC Porto’s first team that season before leaving the club at the end of August to sign for Cagliari. Despite his limited involvement, he is now officially linked to the national title triumph, receiving the distinction corresponding to the team’s campaign that season.

Zé Pedro’s presence at the training centre comes at the start of the dragons’ new season, now with Francesco Farioli at the helm of the first team. FC Porto are preparing for 2026/27 after closing out a victorious league campaign, in which William Gomes was also awarded the prize for best goal in the 2025/26 Primeira Liga, for the strike scored against Sporting at Alvalade.

The presentation of the medal to Zé Pedro symbolizes recognition of the centre-back’s contribution at the start of Porto’s title-winning run, even though he moved on to continue his career in Italy shortly afterwards. The moment took place at Olival, home of blue-and-white football, and reinforces the player’s bond with the club where he was part of the title-winning squad.
