Villas-Boas: “FC Porto’s future is being built at home” | OneFootball

An achievement highlighted by president André Villas-Boas. “There are victories that tell the story of a title, and there are others that tell the story of a project. This National Under-17 Championship, won with an 11-point lead with three matches remaining, is a bit of both. Seeing these young players compete and win like this, with personality, courage, and respect for our identity, fills any Porto supporter with pride. You can really feel what FC Porto is here: talent with ambition, but also with character and team spirit,” reads a message published on FC Porto’s official website.

“I want to leave a very special word for the players, coach José João, and his coaching staff, who did an exemplary job throughout the entire season. But this title also belongs to the entire youth development structure, which has been doing remarkable work: in a short time, two championships in the youth ranks and, at the same time, players ready to make the step up and help the higher levels. This achievement reinforces the idea that FC Porto’s future is being built at home, day after day, with high standards, competence, and enormous passion for this club. Today we celebrate the under-17s, but we also celebrate the path we are taking to keep FC Porto strong, competitive, and true to itself. Long live Futebol Clube do Porto!” Villas-Boas concluded.
