==History==
{{Disputed section|date=May 2019}}

===Early years (1893–1921)===
[[File:António Nicolau d'Almeida.jpg|thumb|upright|António Nicolau de Almeida, club founder]]
The club was founded on 28 September 1893 as ''Foot-Ball Club do Porto'' by António Nicolau de Almeida, a local [[port wine]] merchant and avid sportsman, who became fascinated with [[association football|football]] during his trips to England.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=9–10}}<ref name="uefa profile">{{cite web|title=FC Porto|url=https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/teams/50064--porto/|publisher=UEFA|access-date=28 June 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Clubs&nbsp;– FC Porto|url=https://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/clubs/club=31015/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131130023419/http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/clubs/club=31015/|url-status=dead|archive-date=30 November 2013|publisher=FIFA|access-date=28 June 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Glória e Vida de Três Gigantes|year=1995|language=pt|author1=Simões, António|author2=Serpa, Homero|author3=do Carmo Francisco, José|publisher=[[A Bola]]|volume=1|url=http://www.abola.pt/publica/3gran/port/index.asp?n=1&titulos=1|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051104025259/http://www.abola.pt/publica/3gran/port/index.asp?n=1&titulos=1|archive-date=4 November 2005}}</ref> Porto played its first matches with other Portuguese clubs, including one against Lisbon's ''Foot-Ball Club Lisbonense'' on 2 March 1894. This match had the patronage of King [[Carlos I of Portugal|Carlos I]] and Queen [[Amélie of Orléans]], who travelled to Porto to witness the event and present a trophy to the winners.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=9–10}}<ref>{{cite web|last1=Martins|first1=Paulo|title=Taça D. Carlos I 1894|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/portold.html|access-date=21 June 2014|website=[[RSSSF]]|date=15 September 2004}}</ref>

Almeida's enthusiasm and involvement with the club waned due to family pressure, and by the turn of the century, Porto had entered a period of inactivity.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=9–10}} In 1906, José Monteiro da Costa returned to Porto after finishing his studies in England. Like Almeida, thirteen years before, he was also captivated by the English game, and together with some associates, decided to reintroduce the practice of football in the city, outside of the British circles. On 2 August 1906, Porto was revived and Monteiro da Costa appointed its president. Although football was the driving force, the club also promoted other sports, including gymnastics, weightlifting and wrestling, athletics and swimming.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=11}} Shortly after, Porto rented its first ground and recruited a French coach named Adolphe Cassaigne,<ref>{{cite news|last1=Pereira da Silva|first1=Joaquim|title=O Tripeiro|issue=5|date=1 March 1926|page=113|language=pt}}</ref> who would stay in the club until 1925.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|pp=40, 81}}

On 15 December 1907, Porto played its first match against a foreign team, hosting Spain's [[Real Fortuna Foot-ball Club|Real Fortuna]].{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=164}} In the following month, Porto returned the visit and played its first match abroad.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=73}} Four years later, the club won the inaugural staging of the [[Taça José Monteiro da Costa]],<ref name="taça josé monteiro da costa">{{cite web|last1=Martins|first1=Paulo|last2=Nunes|first2=João|title=Taça José Monteiro da Costa|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/portregchamp.html|access-date=21 June 2014|website=[[RSSSF]]|date=26 June 2004}}</ref> securing its first-ever major title.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=70}} In 1912, Porto joined efforts with [[Leixões S.C.|Leixões]] to establish the [[Porto Football Association]], which began organising the [[Porto Football Association#Porto Championship|regional championship]] in the following year.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=37}} Porto finished the first season as runners-up, behind local rivals [[Boavista F.C.|Boavista]], but in the following season the club won its first championship. By the end of the 1920–21 season, Porto had been regional champions six times in seven years,<ref name="regional championship">{{cite web|last1=Martins|first1=Paulo|last2=Nunes|first2=João|title=Campeonato do Porto (Oporto Championship)|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/portregchamp.html|access-date=21 June 2014|website=[[RSSSF]]|date=26 June 2004}}</ref> and outright winners of the Taça José Monteiro da Costa, after claiming a third consecutive victory in 1916.<ref name="taça josé monteiro da costa" />

===First national titles and drought years (1921–1977)===
The 1921–22 season was marked by the creation of the first nationwide football competition&nbsp;– the [[Campeonato de Portugal (1922–1938)|Campeonato de Portugal]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=49–50}} Organised by the [[Portuguese Football Federation|national federation]], this knockout tournament gathered the winners of the regional championships to determine the Portuguese champion.<ref name="FPF history">{{cite web|title=História|url=https://www.fpf.pt/Institucional/Sobre-FPF/Hist%C3%B3ria|website=FPF.pt|publisher=[[Portuguese Football Federation]]|access-date=22 June 2014|language=pt|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715035454/http://www.fpf.pt/Institucional/Sobre-FPF/Hist%C3%B3ria|archive-date=15 July 2014}}</ref> After clinching its fourth consecutive regional title, Porto defeated [[Sporting CP]] in the [[1922 Campeonato de Portugal|inaugural edition]] and became the first national champions.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=49–50}}<ref name="campeonato portugal">{{cite web|last1=Claro|first1=Paulo|title=Campeonato de Portugal 1921–1938|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/portchamp.html|access-date=22 June 2014|website=[[RSSSF]]|date=15 May 2004}}</ref> While a dominant regional force,{{efn|Porto won the regional championship consecutively between 1918 and 1939.<ref name="regional championship" />}} the club faced stronger opposition in the national championship, winning it only three more times in a span of sixteen years (1925, 1932 and 1937).<ref name="campeonato portugal" /> In 1933–34, Porto was denied participation in the Campeonato de Portugal by its football association for refusing to release players for a match between the Porto and Lisbon regional teams.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=89}}

In the following season, a second nationwide competition named "Campeonato da Primeira Liga" (English: Premier League Championship), or simply [[Primeira Liga]], was provisionally established by the national federation to increase the number of matches per season and improve the competitiveness of Portuguese football.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=92}} As the regional champion, Porto qualified for the first edition of the new round-robin competition, winning it with 10 victories in 14 matches.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Teixeira|first1=Jorge Miguel|title=Portugal 1934–35|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/porthist193435.html|access-date=23 June 2014|website=[[RSSSF]]|date=11 August 1999}}</ref>{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=96}} Due to the success of its format, the Primeira Liga was made an official championship competition for the 1938–39 season&nbsp;– its name changed to "Campeonato Nacional da Primeira Divisão" (English: First Division National Championship) or simply Primeira Divisão&nbsp;– and replaced the Campeonato de Portugal, which in turn was converted into the [[Taça de Portugal]], the main domestic cup competition.<ref name="FPF history" /><ref name="campeonato portugal" /> Porto won the inaugural edition of the new league championship and successfully defended the title in the next season, despite almost failing to take part.{{efn|An administrative battle arose between Porto and [[Académico F.C.|Académico]] after a 1939–40 regional championship match between both clubs, which ended prematurely due to numerical inferiority of Porto's team,{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=121}} was repeated by decision of the Porto FA and won by Porto. To solve this situation, the Portuguese Football Federation decided to annul the result from the repetition match&nbsp;– causing Porto to lose the regional title to [[Leixões S.C.|Leixões]] and finish in third place, behind Académico. However, the Federation also decided to expand the Primeira Divisão from eight to ten teams, accepting an additional team from the Porto and Setúbal FAs, which resulted in the top-three teams from the Porto regional championship qualifying for the 1939–40 Primeira Divisão.<ref>Stadium Newspaper, 10 January 1940</ref>}} The club failed to secure a third consecutive title, and after nearly missing again a place in the Primeira Divisão in [[1941–42 Primeira Divisão|1941–42]],{{efn|Before the 1941–42 season, the federation decided to expand the Primeira Divisão to ten teams, to admit the [[Braga Football Association|Braga FA]] and [[Algarve Football Association|Algarve FA]] champions, for the first time. That season, Porto finished the regional championship in third place, which did not grant entry into the Primeira Divisão. However, after consulting every district football association and receiving no opposition to the idea, the federation approved a new expansion of the top-tier league, to twelve teams, which enabled the club to participate.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=136}}}} it would only return to a top-three finish in the 1946–47 season. In 1948, Porto defeated English champions [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] 3–2 in a friendly match. To commemorate this victory, the associates offered the club a massive trophy made of {{convert|250|kg|lb|abbr=on}} of silver and wood&nbsp;– the Arsenal Cup.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=22}}

Having endured a 16-year title drought period, Porto returned to winning ways by taking the [[1955–56 Primeira Divisão]] on head-to-head advantage over runners-up [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]]. Later that season, Porto beat [[S.C.U.

Shortly after, the club entered another lacklustre period of its history, the highest point of which was a victory in the 1968 Taça de Portugal final. During this time, Porto had its worst-ever league classification, a ninth place in 1969–70,{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=304}} while its best league record in that period consisted of six runner-up finishes (four consecutive between 1961–62 and 1964–65).<ref>{{cite web|last1=Claro|first1=Paulo|title=Portugal&nbsp;– List of champions|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/portchamp.html|access-date=25 June 2014|website=[[RSSSF]]|date=15 May 2014}}</ref> In European competitions, the club participated for the first time in the [[Inter-Cities Fairs Cup]] (and its successor, the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]]) and in the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]], without getting past the third round.<ref name="uefa history">{{cite web|title=FC Porto&nbsp;– History|url=http://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/teams/club=50064/profile/history/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130223042739/http://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/teams/club=50064/profile/history/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=23 February 2013|publisher=UEFA|access-date=25 June 2014}}</ref>

The 1987–88 season was one of the most successful for the club, who also won the [[1988 Taça de Portugal Final|Taça de Portugal]] and an expanded 20-team Primeira Divisão with a [[List of FC Porto records and statistics|record number]] of goals scored (88) and distance in points to the runners-up (15).{{efn|Until the 1995–96 season, league wins were worth two points.}}{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=428}}

[[File:Bobby Robson Cropped.jpg|thumb|left|upright|[[Bobby Robson]] won the first two of Porto's record five consecutive league titles.]]
Midway through the 1993–94 season, Porto hired former England manager [[Bobby Robson]], who had been sacked by Sporting CP. The club closed the gap to league winners Benfica, reached the [[1993–94 UEFA Champions League]] semi-finals, and ended the season with a victory over Sporting CP in the [[1994 Taça de Portugal Final|Taça de Portugal final]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=478}}
In Robson's first full season, Porto claimed the [[1994–95 Primeira Divisão]] title with a win at Sporting CP's ground and played Benfica four times to secure both the [[1993 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|1993]] and [[1994 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|1994 stagings]] of the Supertaça.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=486}}<ref name="supertaça" /> The beginning of the season had been clouded by the death of 26-year-old midfielder [[Rui Filipe]], who had scored the club's first league goal.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=486}} Robson's increasing health problems barred him from leading Porto in the first months of the 1995–96 season, but he returned in time to revalidate the league title. Striker [[Domingos Paciência]] became the club's top goalscorer for the second consecutive time and won that season's ''[[Bola de Prata (Portugal)|Bola de Prata]]'', the last win by a Portuguese player.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=494, 501–502}}

To fill the void left by the departure of Robson for [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], Porto hired former club captain and Portugal national team manager [[António Luís Alves Ribeiro Oliveira|António Oliveira]]. Under his command, Porto made history by winning a third consecutive league title (the ''Tri'') for the first time, leaving the runners-up at a distance of 13 points. The club's eighth Supertaça win over Benfica was achieved with a solid performance at the [[Estádio da Luz (1954)|Estádio da Luz]] that resulted in a 5–0 scoreline.<ref name="supertaça" />{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=503, 510}} The arrival of Brazilian players Artur and [[Mário Jardel]] proved highly productive in the [[1996–97 UEFA Champions League]], as their goals helped Porto beat [[A.C.

For the 1998–99 season, Porto tasked Portuguese coach [[Fernando Santos (football coach)|Fernando Santos]] with winning the club's fifth successive Primeira Divisão title (the ''Penta'')&nbsp;– a Portuguese football record. He accomplished this feat, becoming thereafter known as the "''Penta'' engineer" (a pun to his academic degree),<ref>{{cite web|title=Fernando Santos deixa selecção da Grécia após o Mundial do Brasil|trans-title=Fernando Santos selected from Greece after the World Cup in Brazil|url=http://www.publico.pt/desporto/noticia/fernando-santos-deixa-seleccao-grega-apos-o-mundial-do-brasil-1626405|work=[[Público (Portugal)|Público]]|access-date=29 June 2014|language=pt|date=27 February 2014}}</ref> and saw Jardel's 36 goals win him the European Golden Shoe.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=519}}<ref name="golden shoe"/> Porto lost the chance to win its sixth straight league title, after finishing four points behind [[1999–2000 Primeira Liga]] champions Sporting, but overcame them to lift its [[2000 Taça de Portugal Final|tenth Taça de Portugal trophy]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=527}}<ref name="taça de portugal" /> Despite winning the Portuguese cup for the second time in two years, continued failure to retake the league title led to the resignation of Santos at the end of the 2000–01 season.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=539}}

===Mourinho's golden years (2001–2004)===
[[File:Mourinho in Moscow.jpg|thumb|upright|[[José Mourinho]] led Porto to consecutive [[2003 UEFA Cup Final|UEFA Cup]] and [[2004 UEFA Champions League Final|UEFA Champions League]] titles.]]
The appointment of former club player and assistant coach [[Octávio Machado]] to head Porto back to the league title appeared to pay off as the team began the season with a [[2001 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|Supertaça win]] against the [[2000–01 Primeira Liga]] winners, Boavista.<ref name="supertaça" /> However, this would be the only major achievement in a lacklustre season that would culminate with a third place in the league classification&nbsp;– the lowest in 20 years. The elimination from the [[2001–02 Taça de Portugal]], four days after losing away for the Primeira Liga, precipitated the sacking of Machado after 36 matches in charge.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=548–556}}

Two days later, Porto signed [[U.D.

The team then overcame [[Olympique Lyonnais|Lyon]] and [[Deportivo de La Coruña|Deportivo La Coruña]] to reach [[2004 UEFA Champions League Final|the Champions League final]].

A home win against Benfica prevented the rivals from celebrating the league title at the [[Estádio do Dragão]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=615–623}} Under Ferreira's steering, Porto always qualified for the Champions League knockout stage, reaching the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League|quarter-finals in 2008–09]], where it was eliminated by holders Manchester United.<ref>{{cite web|title=UEFA Champions League 2008/09&nbsp;– History|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2009/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110924062416/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2009/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 September 2011|publisher=UEFA|access-date=5 July 2014}}</ref>

===Villas-Boas, Pereira and subsequent years (2010–2017)===
[[File:Villas-Boas.JPG|thumb|upright|[[André Villas-Boas]] won four trophies in one season with Porto, including the UEFA Europa League.|alt=André Villas-Boas during a press conference as Porto coach]]
The arrival of Mourinho's former assistant [[André Villas-Boas]], in the spring of 2010, set the stage for a highly successful 2010–11 season, which began with a 2–0 victory over Benfica for the [[2010 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|Supertaça]].<ref name="supertaça" /> Spearheaded by [[João Moutinho]], [[Silvestre Varela]], [[Radamel Falcao|Falcao]] and [[Hulk (footballer)|Hulk]] (the ''Bola de Prata'' winner), Porto performed strongly in the Primeira Liga and assured its 25th title with five matches to play, after beating Benfica in its stadium.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=627}} In addition, the club broke a number of records: biggest distance between champions and runners-up (21 points), the most consecutive league wins (16), and the highest percentage of points in a 30-game season (93.33%), dropping only six points and finishing the league without defeats, for the first time in its history.<ref>{{cite web|last=Assunção|first=Manuel|title=FC Porto invicto confirmou na Madeira o seu lugar na história do campeonato|trans-title=Undefeated FC Porto confirmed in Madeira its place in Portuguese league history|url=http://desporto.publico.pt/noticia.aspx?id=1494186|access-date=6 July 2014|work=[[Público (Portugal)|Público]]|date=14 May 2011|language=pt}}</ref>

Eight years after the 2003 triumph, Porto returned to the UEFA Cup (renamed UEFA Europa League) and reached [[2011 UEFA Europa League Final|the final]] in Dublin's [[Aviva Stadium]]. In an all-Portuguese affair, Porto beat Braga with a goal from the competition's top goalscorer Falcao and lifted the trophy for the second time,<ref>{{cite web|last1=Fifield|first1=Dominic|title=Falcao strikes to bring Europa League glory to Porto|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/may/18/porto-braga-europa-league-final-match-report|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=6 July 2014|date=18 May 2011}}</ref> as Villas-Boas became the youngest UEFA competition-winning coach.<ref>{{cite web|last=Atkin|first=John|title=The rise of new Chelsea manager Villas-Boas|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/01f2-0e78bc858d28-b6fc8600819e-1000--the-rise-of-new-chelsea-manager-villas-boas/|publisher=UEFA|access-date=6 July 2014|date=22 June 2011}}</ref> Four days later, Porto won its [[2011 Taça de Portugal Final|third consecutive Taça de Portugal]] with a convincing 6–2 scoreline,<ref name="taça de portugal" /> securing their fourth trophy of the season.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=627}}

As Villas-Boas left for Chelsea, Porto recruited the services of his assistant, [[Vítor Pereira (footballer, born 1968)|Vítor Pereira]]. For the third straight year, the club began the season with another [[2011 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|Supertaça]] title,<ref name="supertaça" /> which was followed by a 2–0 loss to Barcelona for the [[2011 UEFA Super Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|title=2011: Number four for Barcelona|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefasupercup/history/season=2011/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120830184614/http://www.uefa.com/uefasupercup/history/season=2011/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=30 August 2012|publisher=UEFA|access-date=6 July 2014}}</ref> Although lacking the goalscoring prolificacy of Falcao (sold to [[Atlético Madrid]]), Porto was able to revalidate the Primeira Liga title,<ref>{{cite web|title=Classificação Liga ZON Sagres 2011–2012|url=http://www.ligaportugal.pt/oou/classificacao/20112012/primeiraliga|publisher=[[Portuguese League for Professional Football|LPFP]]|access-date=6 July 2014|language=pt}}</ref> but was eliminated prematurely from the [[2011–12 Taça de Portugal|Taça]] and [[2011–12 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] competitions.

In the following season, the club went a stage further in both domestic cup competitions and in the Champions League, where it fell to [[Málaga CF|Málaga]] in the [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League#Round of 16|last-16 round]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Smith|first1=Jonathan|title=Malaga 2–0 FC Porto (agg 2–1)|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/21762058|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|access-date=6 July 2014|date=13 March 2013}}</ref> In the [[2012–13 Primeira Liga]], Porto reduced the distance to leaders Benfica to two points, before hosting them in the penultimate matchday.

===Conceição era (2017–2024)===
[[File:Sérgio_Conceição.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Former Porto player [[Sérgio Conceição]] has won eight honours as the club's manager, including three league titles]]
In the [[2017–18 FC Porto season|2017–18 season]], after almost five years without winning any trophy, Porto won their 28th league title with the contribution of coach [[Sérgio Conceição]], a former player of the club.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.publico.pt/2018/05/06/desporto/noticia/e-o-penta-vai-para-sergio-conceicao-1827321|title=E o "penta" vai para Sérgio Conceição|trans-title=And the "penta" goes to Sérgio Conceição|work=Público|first1=Augusto|last1=Bernardino|language=pt|date=6 May 2018|access-date=28 May 2018}}</ref> The following year, in the [[2018–19 UEFA Champions League]], Porto managed to reach the quarter-finals of the competition, but were defeated by 6–1 on aggregate against the eventual winners [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/match/2027156--porto-vs-liverpool/?referrer=%2Fuefachampionsleague%2Fseason%3D2019%2Fmatches%2Fround%3D2000982%2Fmatch%3D2027156%2Findex |title=Porto 1–4 Liverpool |publisher=UEFA |date=17 April 2019 }}</ref>

In the [[2019–20 FC Porto season|2019–20 season]], Porto managed to recapture the league title, winning it for the 29th time and added for the first time in eleven years the Portuguese cup along with it. However, despite their national success, FC Porto did not reach the group phase of the Champions League and did poorly in their Europa League campaign.

In the [[2020–21 UEFA Champions League]] round of 16, Porto won on away goals rule (4–4 on aggregate) against [[Juventus FC|Juventus]], to reach the quarter-finals.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56325263 |title=Juventus 3–2 FC Porto |publisher=BBC Sport |date=9 March 2021 }}</ref> The season would, however, end with only one national trophy, the [[2020 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|Supertaça]].

After having lost the national title to Sporting in the previous season, Porto's [[2021–22 FC Porto season|2021–22 season]] saw them reach various successes at domestic level: with Conceição at the helm for the 5th season in a row, the team recaptured the [[2021-22 Primeira Liga|Primeira Liga]], achieving a record 91 points. During the season, the Dragons also set a new record for longest unbeaten run in the league, with 58 matches, a sequence that had been started during the first half of the 2020–21 edition. One week after the league's conclusion, they added the [[2021-22 Taça de Portugal|domestic cup]], thus securing the second double in Conceição's reign.

On 28 January 2023, still under Conceição, and on their fifth try, Porto won their first ever [[Taça da Liga]] title, defeating Sporting CP in the [[2022-23 Taça da Liga|final]], thus winning every national trophy available.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.rtp.pt/noticias/futebol-nacional/fc-porto-vence-taca-da-liga-pela-primeira-vez_d1463354 | title=FC Porto vence Taça da Liga pela primeira vez | date=28 January 2023 }}</ref> On 17 December 2023, the team qualified (along with Benfica) to the [[2025 FIFA Club World Cup]] for the first time, as they were the highest-ranked Portuguese club in the UEFA 4-year ranking.

The club's first crest was created in 1910 and consisted of an old blue football with white seams bearing the club name's initials in white. On 26 October 1922, the crest was changed to its present-day appearance after the club approved a design by Augusto Baptista Ferreira (nicknamed "Simplício"), a graphical artist and one of the club's players.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=14}} In his proposal, the city's coat of arms&nbsp;– consisting at the time of a quartered shield (first and fourth quadrants: national arms; second and third quadrants: image of [[Veneration of Mary in Roman Catholicism|Our Lady]] holding [[baby Jesus]] and flanked by two towers holding above a banner with the Latin words ''"Civitas Virginis"'') surrounded by the collar of the [[Order of the Tower and Sword]] and topped by a crown supporting a green dragon with a red banner inscribed with ''"Invicta"'' (Undefeated [city])&nbsp;– was added on top of the old crest, pushing the white letters down.<ref>{{cite web|title=História|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/clube/historia/Pages/historia.aspx|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=27 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref>

In 1906, the club's first official team wore kits with a variety of colors and patterns, which included white shirts with red collars or vertical blue stripes, and even red shirts.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=138}} This indefinition in the equipment was only solved in 1909, when through the initiative of Monteiro da Costa, Porto stipulated in its first statutes that the players had to use "a shirt with blue vertical stripes, black shorts, and personal footwear" as the club's uniform, at every training and match.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=202}}  Some argued that the kit should have included the city colours, green and white.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=138}} Monteiro da Costa, however, defended the blue-and-white combination because he believed the colors "should be those of the [[Flag of Portugal#1830–1910|country's flag]], and not of the city's flag", hoping that the club would "not only defend the good name of the city, but also that of Portugal, in sporting feuds against foreigners."{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=11}}

In 1975, [[Adidas]] became the first sports apparel manufacturers to provide kits for the club.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=39}} Eight years later, Porto became the first Portuguese team to have a shirt sponsor, after signing a deal with [[Revigrés]] worth 10 million [[Portuguese escudo|escudos]] per year.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=102}} This deal lasted for 20 years, with successive renovations, after which the national communications corporation [[Portugal Telecom]] (PT) became the new shirt sponsors. Still, Revigrés remain as one of the club's main and longest-serving collaborators.<ref>{{cite web|title=Main Partners|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/corporate/partners-club/Pages/main.aspx#ancora_topo|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=30 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref>

[[File:Campo Constituição 1 (Porto).jpg|thumb|The old ''Campo da Constituição'' ground houses the Vitalis Park, the club's youth training camp.]]
The club's first ground was the ''[[Campo da Rainha]]'' (Queen's Field), inaugurated in 1906 with an [[exhibition game]] against Boavista. The site was located near the residence of Monteiro da Costa and was the property of the city's horticultural society. Aided by his father, a horticultor by profession, Monteiro da Costa rented a portion (30 by 50 meters) of uncultivated terrain to create the first dedicated [[football pitch]] in the country. Later that year, the society's [[vivaria]] were transferred to another location, allowing Porto to increase the pitch area to match the sport's official dimensions.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=11–13}} The ground had capacity for 600 people, including a VIP tribune, and possessed a [[changing room]] equipped with showers and sinks, a bar and a gym. The first match between Porto and a foreign team took place at the ''Campo da Raínha'', on 15 December 1907, when the hosts played Spanish side Real Fortuna.<ref>{{cite web|title=Campo da Raínha|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/clube/estadio-do-dragao/Pages/campo-da-rainha.aspx#ancora_topo|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=25 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref>

By 1911, the ''Campo da Raínha'' was becoming too small for the rapidly growing attendances. After being notified about the sale of the ground for construction of a factory, the club searched for a new ground and rented a terrain near the ''Constituição'' street for an annual fee of 350[[Escudo|$]]00.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=13}} The ''[[Campo da Constituição]]'' (Constitution Field) was opened in January 1913 with a match against [[Oporto Cricket and Lawn Tennis Club]] and hosted Porto's home matches for the regional championship. Eventually, the larger capacity of this ground also became insufficient for the ever-increasing crowds attending the games, particularly against high-profile opponents.<ref>{{cite web|title=Campo da Constituição|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/clube/estadio-do-dragao/Pages/campo-da-constituicao.aspx#ancora_topo|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=25 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref> On several occasions, between the 1920s and 1940s, Porto played host to matches at the ''Campo do Ameal'' (Ameal Field) or the ''Estádio do Lima'' (Lima Stadium), home of local rivals Sport Progresso and [[Académico F.C.|Académico]], respectively.<ref>{{cite web|title=Campo do Ameal|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/clube/estadio-do-dragao/Pages/campo-do-ameal.aspx#ancora_topo|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=25 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref> It was in the latter ground that the club achieved their most important victory at the time, as they beat English champions Arsenal 3–2 in a friendly match on 7 May 1948.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=22}}<ref>{{cite web|title=Estádio do Lima|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/clube/estadio-do-dragao/Pages/estadio-do-lima.aspx#ancora_topo|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=25 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref>

In 1933, Porto approved a plan to build a new stadium to accommodate and meet the demands of larger attendances, but the project only moved forward with the purchase of {{convert|48000|sqm|acre}} of land in the eastern side of the city in 1947.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=13–14}} Designed by Portuguese architects Oldemiro Carneiro and Aires de Sá,<ref>{{cite web|title=Estádio das Antas|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/clube/estadio-do-dragao/Pages/estadio-das-antas.aspx#ancora_topo|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=26 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref> the construction of the ''Estádio do Futebol Clube do Porto''&nbsp;– better known as ''[[Estádio das Antas]]'' (Antas Stadium) for the neighbourhood where it was built&nbsp;– began in January 1950, one month after the first stone was symbolically laid. Two years later, on 28 May 1952, the stadium was inaugurated with a ceremony, featuring the presence of the [[President of Portugal|President of the Republic]] [[Francisco Craveiro Lopes]],{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=13–14}} and a match against Benfica, which Porto lost 2–8.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=159}} The stadium's initial layout had an open east sector (Marathon Door), which was closed in 1976 with the construction of a two-tier stand that raised the capacity to 70,000.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=122}} In 1986, works to lower the pitch and build an additional tier in the place of the athletics and cycling track were concluded, setting the capacity to a new maximum of 95,000. As stadium safety regulations became stricter during the following decade, the placing of individual seats brought the capacity of the Estádio das Antas down to 55,000 by 1997.<ref>{{cite web|title=Estádio das Antas|url=http://www.stadiumguide.com/antas/|publisher=The Stadium Guide|access-date=26 April 2014}}</ref>

The awarding of the [[UEFA Euro 2004]] hosting rights to Portugal in 1999 was the perfect opportunity for Porto to move into a more modern, functional and comfortable stadium, in line with the demands of high-level international football. The club decided to build an entirely new ground and chose a site located a few hundreds of meters southeast of the Estádio das Antas. The project was commissioned to Portuguese architect Manuel Salgado,<ref name="porto_dragao">{{cite web|title=Estádio do Dragão|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/clube/estadio-do-dragao/Pages/historia.aspx|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=26 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref> and construction took two years to complete at a cost of [[Euro|€]]98 million. Baptised ''[[Estádio do Dragão]]'' (Dragon Stadium) by president Pinto da Costa, for the mythological creature placed atop the club's crest, it was officially inaugurated on 16 November 2003 with a match against Barcelona. Porto won 2–0 in front of a record 52,000 spectators, which also witnessed the professional debut of [[Lionel Messi]]. In June 2004, the venue hosted the opening ceremony and match of the UEFA Euro 2004, and four other tournament matches.<ref>{{cite web|title=Estádio do Dragão|url=http://www.stadiumguide.com/dragao/|publisher=The Stadium Guide|access-date=26 April 2014}}</ref> The highest attendance in an official match was registered on 21 April 2004, when 50,818 people saw Porto draw Deportivo La Coruña without goals, for the first leg of the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League semi-finals.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=41}} For safety reasons, its current capacity is limited to 50,431.<ref name="porto_dragao"/>

==Rivalries==
{{main|O Clássico|FC Porto–Sporting CP rivalry}}
Porto's biggest rivalries are with the other [[Big Three (Portugal)|Big Three]] members and regular league title contenders, Benfica and Sporting CP.
