The new seating plan for the Estádio do Dragão | OneFootball

The 2026/27 season marks a return to the original concept of the Estádio do Dragão, with a revision of the stadium zoning model, now designed to ensure greater consistency between price, location, visibility and comfort.

Following the position in relation to the pitch and the partnership agreed with Ithaka, the seats located in sectors 4, 5, 13, 14, 20, 21, 29 and 30 will be reclassified and will become part of the Central Stand, which now expands to the entire East and West Stands.

As a result of this change, FC Porto will grant a credit to members’ Current Account to those who renew their Season Seat in these sectors, provided the fan keeps the original seat throughout the entire season.

The Season Seat renewal period begins at 3:00 pm on Thursday, 25 June.

Questions and answers about the new zoning model

Will the entire Side Stand now be classified as Central? Yes. Previously identified as the Side Stand, sectors 4, 5, 13, 14, 20, 21, 29 and 30 will now be considered part of the Central Stand under the new Estádio do Dragão zoning.

Will all sectors of the former Side Stand have the same price?No. The sectors that made up the Side Stand will now have different prices depending on the position of the seat in the stadium. Factors such as proximity to the pitch and distance from the centre circle are taken into account when setting the price: seats in the front rows and farther from the halfway line will be cheaper.

Will holders of a Season Seat in the former Side Stand be compensated?Yes. To soften the price difference, FC Porto will grant a credit to the Current Account of all members who renew their Season Seat in sectors 4, 5, 13, 14, 20, 21, 29 and 30 of the Estádio do Dragão.

How much will be credited to the Current Account?The amount credited to the Current Account may vary between 35 and 70 euros, depending on the sector and row.

Are there any conditions?The credit will only be granted to members who keep their respective seat in the same sector throughout the entire sporting season.

When will the amount be credited?The amount will be placed in members’ Current Account after the end of the Season Seat renewal and exchange period. The balance will be available before the end of August.

I bought or changed my Season Seat to one of the sectors converted into the Central Stand. Am I entitled to the discount?No. This discount is valid only for members who renew their Season Seat in the covered sectors. Members who change seats or purchase a Season Seat in these sectors for the first time will not be entitled to the Current Account credit.
