FC Porto unveil Saturday plans for 31st title celebrations | OneFootball

FC Porto has already finalized the details of the celebration for its 31st national championship title, scheduled for Saturday, May 16, with a program stretching from the Estádio do Dragão to Avenida dos Aliados and featuring music, a drone show, fireworks, and a parade on an open-top bus.

Under the motto “To the Aliados, Together,” the celebrations begin at 3:30 p.m. at the Dragão, where the blue-and-whites will host Santa Clara in the final round of the league. After the match and the trophy presentation, the team will leave the stadium to begin the festive route through the city.

One of the most symbolic moments is reserved for the journey between Marina do Freixo and Ribeira, which will be made by boat. Upon arriving in the riverside area, fans will be able to watch a pyrotechnic display near the Dom Luís I Bridge and a drone show prepared to mark Porto’s triumph.

Ribeira will also be one of the main hubs of the celebrations even before the team arrives. From 6 p.m., entertainment with a DJ is scheduled, along with the installation of a giant screen that will allow fans to watch the live trophy presentation ceremony for the new national champions.

After passing through the city’s historic area, the squad will head to Avenida dos Aliados on an open-top bus adapted for the champions’ parade. The celebratory atmosphere will also feature musical performances by Pedro Abrunhosa, Gavin James, and Red Light Italy.

The highlight of the celebrations is expected to take place at City Hall, where the team and FC Porto’s board will be received by Porto mayor Pedro Duarte and the Municipal Executive, before the customary appearance on the City Hall balcony to lift the trophy in front of the fans gathered at the Aliados.

The operation linked to the celebrations will require several traffic restrictions throughout Saturday and into the early hours of Sunday.
