Dragão modernises: dugouts lowered for FC Porto fans’ view | OneFootball

Estádio do Dragão is moving forward with another intervention as part of its ongoing renovation and modernization process. The dugouts are being lowered, a change designed to improve the view of the pitch for fans seated in the rows of the stands directly behind those structures.

The measure covers both the area allocated to FC Porto and the one reserved for the visiting team. The main benefit is expected to be felt in sector 1 of the stadium, where the presence of the dugouts most noticeably affected the field of vision of members and fans.

The work is part of a broader set of improvements underway at the blue-and-white venue, at a time when the club is also preparing for the new season in terms of the stadium experience. The aim is to make the Dragão more functional and comfortable, without changing the identity of the space.

This intervention addresses a long-standing concern among some spectators seated in the areas closest to the pitch, especially along the sides of the dugouts. With the lowering, the expectation is for a clearer view of the game from those seats, reducing the visual obstruction caused by the current height of the structures.

Work is already underway at the stadium and represents another step in the stadium’s upgrade project.
