List of FC Porto records and statistics

Futebol Clube do Porto is a Portuguese sports club based in Porto, which is best known for its professional association football team. They played their first match in 1893, but only won their first trophy in 1911. Two years later, Porto began competing in a regional championship, and in 1922 they won the inaugural edition of the Campeonato de Portugal, the first nationwide club competition, to become the first Portuguese champions. In 1934, an experimental two-tier league competition was introduced in Portuguese football; four years later, the first-level Primeira Liga was officially established as the top-tier league championship, from which Porto have never been relegated. Involved in international competitions since 1956, the club beat Bayern Munich in the 1987 European Cup Final to win its first continental silverware.

Honours

Porto won the inaugural José Monteiro da Costa Cup tournament in 1911, securing its first-ever trophy.[1] Three years later, the club clinched the first of a total of 30 regional championship titles.[2] In 1922, their regional success expanded to a national level, after victory in the inaugural staging of the Campeonato de Portugal crowned Porto as the first Portuguese champions.[3] The club then won its first Primeira Liga title in 1934–35,[4] when it was still a provisional competition, and again in 1938–39, when it became the official domestic top-tier championship.[5]

In 1955–56, Porto lifted the Taça de Portugal for the first time,[6] and in doing so secured their first league and cup double.[7] The following season saw the club's international stage premiere in the European Cup.[8] Thirty years later, Porto beat Bayern Munich in the 1987 European Cup Final to win their maiden European silverware.[9] The following season brought the club further successes in the UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup.[10][11] Since taking their first Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira title in 1981, Porto have a record of 23 wins in 32 appearances, more than any other winner combined.[12]

As of 23 April 2024, Porto have won a total of 84 titles (regional competitions not considered), of which 77 were achieved domestically and 7 were obtained in international competitions. The club's most recent honour is the 2022–23 Taça de Portugal.[13]
