Porto kick off new season in nine days, Champions League in sight | OneFootball

FC Porto is already looking ahead to the start of the new season, with the national champions set to return in nine days.

The blue-and-white team is preparing to begin another competitive cycle, at a time when an important return to the European stage is also approaching. FC Porto will compete in the EHF Champions League in 2026/27, benefiting from the competition’s expansion decided by the European Handball Federation, which is increasing from 16 to 24 teams.

This return once again places Porto among the continental elite, after a season in which they reaffirmed their strength domestically. The approaching resumption of work thus marks the beginning of a decisive preparation phase, with the aim of meeting the demands of both national and European competitions.

Coached by Magnus Andersson, Porto head into the new season with their usual ambition of fighting for the main trophies. Their status as national champions raises expectations about the response the team can deliver on its return to competition.

The countdown has already begun, and FC Porto are getting closer to returning to work, with their focus on defending the title and making a competitive showing in the Champions League.
