FC Porto start new season in nine days, Champions League return 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 side is preparing for the start of another competitive cycle, at a time when an important reunion with the European stage is also drawing near. FC Porto will compete in the EHF Champions League in 2026/27, benefiting from the tournament’s expansion decided by the European Handball Federation, which will increase from 16 to 24 teams.

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

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

The countdown has already begun and FC Porto is nearing the moment to get back to work, with the focus on defending the title and making a competitive impact in the Champions League.
