FC Porto honour Jorge Costa a year after their eternal captain's death | OneFootball

One year after the death of Jorge Costa, FC Porto is preparing to once again pay tribute to one of the most remarkable figures in its history. Tomorrow, Wednesday, exactly on the first anniversary of the passing of the former captain and director of professional football, the club will promote several initiatives aimed at preserving the memory of one of its greatest symbols.

The program begins in the morning at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center, in Olival, which was named after the former Portuguese international following his death. Before training, players, coaching staff, directors, and other staff members will take part in a ceremony reserved for the Porto family.

In the late afternoon, at 7 p.m., a Mass will be celebrated at the Cristo Rei Parish Church, in Foz, the same church that hosted Jorge Costa’s funeral ceremonies. The first team will be present at the service, along with several club officials.

According to information gathered by Portal dos Dragões, the Super Cup won by FC Porto a few days ago will also be part of the tributes. Contrary to the usual procedure, the trophy will not be taken to the FC Porto Museum for now, remaining linked to the tribute ceremonies for the former captain.

Captain of one of the most successful generations in the club’s history and, at a later stage, director of professional football, Jorge Costa continues to hold a special place in the memory of Porto supporters. One year after his death, FC Porto once again underlines that the legacy of one of its greatest icons remains very much alive.
