FC Porto pay tribute to Jorge Costa at the ‘new’ Olival | OneFootball

FC Porto pays yet another tribute to Jorge Costa today, one that will go down in history: from this Tuesday onward, the Olival training center will bear the name of the former captain of the Dragons.

André Villas‑Boas will announce the change at 12:30 p.m., in a ceremony that will also be attended by the family of the former member of Francesco Farioli’s coaching staff.

It should be recalled that Jorge Costa, a former FC Porto international and director of professional football for the Dragons, passed away on August 5, at the age of 53, following a cardiorespiratory arrest. His death was declared at São João Hospital, after he was transported there having fallen ill at the club’s training center in Olival, in Vila Nova de Gaia.
