Villas-Boas: Protocol with Porto council boosts FC Porto’s growth | OneFootball

The granting of the surface rights over land from the decommissioned Ramalho Ortigão School was described as “a significant step for FC Porto, not only in continuing its social and sporting impact on the city, but also in continuing its eclectic growth.”

Alongside Rui Moreira, “a great Portista to whom FC Porto thanks from the heart” for the “precious help,” André Villas-Boas explained that the construction of a new arena will “ensure that the youth development of the various sports no longer has to live out of a suitcase” and will help to “free up several other arenas, not only in the municipality of Porto, but also in neighboring municipalities,” in addition to opening up “several hours of sporting practice to other people, other clubs, and other institutions that lack these sporting conditions elsewhere.”

An eclectic Club “This is a significant step for FC Porto, not only in continuing its social and sporting impact on the city, but also in continuing its eclectic growth. It is a step that will allow the continuation of this eclectic growth of FC Porto, which recently launched new sports, among which I highlight those that are part of adapted sports and also futsal. It is a step that ensures that the youth development of FC Porto’s sports no longer has to live out of a suitcase, which was one of the major problems for those teams.

Rui Moreira “This major step would not have been possible without the precious help of the Porto City Council, in the final act of a great Portista to whom FC Porto gives heartfelt thanks, for the way he has respected the institution since taking office, for always opening the doors of the City Council to FC Porto to celebrate so many titles and, above all, for what he represents as an FC Porto member, all his Portismo, which is visceral to him and which surely, in the future, will make him proud to have signed this protocol and of everything he gave to FC Porto while he was mayor.”

Serving the city “I want to thank my teams who were involved in this process, namely the teams related to infrastructure and those related to the sports departments. This is a step by the Club and it is very meaningful; we want sporting practice to always be present at FC Porto, in its eclectic growth, and to properly serve the city it was essential to build this arena.”

The region’s infrastructure “The fact that FC Porto may eventually move to this arena will free up several other arenas, not only in the municipality of Porto, but also in neighboring municipalities that will help sports growth in other municipalities. Therefore, this will also free up several hours of sporting practice for other people, other clubs, and other institutions that also lack these sporting conditions elsewhere. Therefore, I thank you from the heart on behalf of FC Porto. Many thanks to Dr. Rui Moreira.”
