“Being a Dragon means this” | OneFootball

In addition to winning their 28th National Championship title, the three-cushion billiards team also claimed the Super Cup and the Portuguese Cup. The trophies that sealed the blue-and-white treble in 2025/26 are already on display at the FC Porto Museum, and Rui Manuel Costa, one of the key figures, highlighted that “being a Dragon means working and fighting with passion, rigor and competence,” although “sometimes winning or not winning comes down to a detail.” Year after year, everything becomes “more difficult,” but “playing and winning for the Club we love is always an indescribable joy,” said the billiards player.

Work, fight and win“Being a Dragon is this. Being a Dragon means working and fighting with passion, rigor and competence. Sometimes winning or not winning comes down to a detail. After two years that did not go very well, this season we managed to win back the title. I would like to stress that, in our case, there is this idea that it is very easy to win in billiards, but the truth is that year after year it becomes more difficult. Being here at the Museum… Playing and winning for the Club we love is always an indescribable joy.”

The present and the future“We still have the final competition left, which is the European Championship next July, but things are progressing well. Fortunately for us, we already have quite a few young players to ensure the team’s natural renewal, so we can only be pleased with ourselves and with our work.”
