FC Porto Vintage ease to two wins at the start of Masters in Setúbal | OneFootball

Who doesn’t remember Eduardo Filipe, David Tavares or Tiago Rocha, respectively the third (271), seventh (207) and ninth (202) most-capped Portuguese handball players of all time? And also Sérgio Morgado (190) and Álvaro Rodrigues (158), or even Filipe Mota – who scored the first goal at Dragão Arena –, João Pinto and Jorge Ribeiro? The fact is that these and other names make up FC Porto Vintage, now a team within the blue-and-white universe, but which began as Porto Masters, bridging two clubs with an enviable record in European competitions at this age level: champions in Nice 2015, Gondomar 2017, Turin 2019, Granollers 2022, Tampere 2023 and Paredes 2024.

This time in Setúbal – today brought the opening matches, the easiest ones, with 21-7 and 24-3 wins over Spanish sides Maristas and Valladolid. David Tavares and Jorge Ribeiro were named MVP, respectively. “The idea is to win back the title we lost last year. The main rival and current champion is a very strong team, a genuine French selection, with appearances at European Championships, World Championships and the Olympics, but we want to win,” captain Jorge Ribeiro told O JOGO.
