FC Porto got their pre-season preparations underway with a 1-1 draw against Hibernian, who finished fifth in the latest edition of the Scottish league and will take part in the Conference League qualifiers in 2026/27, meaning they are at a more advanced stage of their pre-season.

Borja Sainz scored for the national champions, while Felix Passlack got on the scoresheet for the Scottish side. In the friendly, played over two 45-minute halves, FC Porto also had three goals disallowed — two for Borja Sainz and one for Victor Froholdt — as well as an Alan Varela effort off the crossbar and a direct free-kick from Gabri Veiga that struck the post.

The match was played behind closed doors at the Jorge Costa CTFD, and Francesco Farioli took the chance to assess the following players: Cláudio Ramos, João Costa, Alberto Costa, Martim Fernandes, Bednarek, Nehuén Pérez, Jakub Kiwior, Luís Gomes, Francisco Moura, Zaidu, Pablo Rosario, Alan Varela, Victor Froholdt, Rodrigo Mora, Gabri Veiga, Tiago Silva, João Teixeira, Borja Sainz, Oskar Pietuszewski, André Silva, Eduardo Ferreira, Pepê and William Gomes.
