“We’re eager to challenge for trophies again” | OneFootball

In the second week of preparation for the 2026/27 season, FC Porto’s handball team set up camp in Viseu. This Wednesday, the delegation was received by Adelino Azevedo Pinto, Vice-President of the City Council, and Joaquim Escada, Vice-President of the Portuguese Handball Federation.

During the visit to Viseu City Hall, Rui Silva highlighted the “very welcoming people” who “received very well” the group led by Carlos Martingo as part of their preparations for the new season. The player also assured that “the training camp has been very positive,” especially for “conveying what it means to be FC Porto,” and reaffirmed the ambition of “fighting for titles”: “We know that we have been missing that in the last three years, and it is something we are very eager to do again because we miss it.”

The reception in Viseu“We were very well received. This is a city where we know that will always happen, because the people are very welcoming. It was really nice to receive the affection that the people of Viseu have for us and for FC Porto.”

The training camp“It has been going very well. We have been making the most of this time to grow stronger as a group. We know this is a tougher time of the year, but we are also aware of how important it is for the long season ahead. The training camp has been very positive, and we will make the most of the remaining two and a half days, because it really is important for all of us to be here together.”

Porto DNA“One of the most important things we try to convey is that way of being and what it means to be FC Porto. Both I and everyone who has been here for some time try to make that very clear to everyone. We have to instill those values in those who arrive, and I believe they are already beginning to understand a little of what the Club is. Now we will continue to prepare because we are going to have a very tough and demanding season.”

Set objectives“It is always good to feel this excitement. It is a sign that the holidays are over and that we are going to play again, to do what we love most, which is represent FC Porto, and also fight for titles. We know that we have been missing that in the last three years, and it is something we are very eager to do again because we miss it.”
