FC Porto Museum marks 70 years since the Dragons' UEFA debut | OneFootball

The 2026-2027 season marks 70 years since FC Porto made its debut in UEFA competitions. This milestone serves as the starting point for revisiting facts and curiosities and showing how the Dragons’ international journey helped transform the city of Porto into a European Capital of Football. Between 16 September 2026 and 16 February 2027, the thematic area Great News, included with the Tour FC Porto – Museum + Stadium ticket, hosts at the FC Porto Museum the first part of a Temporary Memory Activation (ATM). The initiative brings visitors closer to the global dimension and winning DNA that distinguish FC Porto, by far the most successful Portuguese club in international football.

The journey through the history of FC Porto’s European campaigns is presented as a continuous path of inspiration and overcoming challenges, supported by a remarkable collection of trophies, but also by many other stories. The newspaper O Porto (1949-1986) and the magazine Dragões (1985-…), its successor and the Club’s official publication, play a privileged role in preserving this memory. Through their pages, it is possible to discover curiosities and remember presidents, coaches, and players who, between 1956-1957 and 2025-2026, left their names linked to the Dragons’ journey in UEFA competitions.

Porto: European Capital of Football is the ATM that allows Tour FC Porto visitors to deepen their knowledge of the Club’s European dimension. The exhibition also commemorates the 40th anniversary of the 1986-1987 European Cup triumph, regarded as the big-bang of FC Porto’s Universal Brilliance, an expression of an honours list that includes 2 Champions Leagues, 2 Europa Leagues, 1 UEFA Super Cup, and 2 Intercontinental Cups. The second part of the initiative, scheduled to begin in February, will address this milestone in greater detail.
