}} Futebol Clube do Porto (pron. IPA /Template:IPA/) - short: FC Porto, FCP - is a Portuguese sports club, best known for its football section. It was founded in 1893 by António Nicolau de Almeida in Porto.
The football home ground is now the Estádio do Dragão (finished in 2003 as a venue for Euro 2004) after 51 years playing in the Estádio das Antas. Porto is, along with Sporting and SL Benfica, one of the "Big Three" clubs in Portugal. Porto have won the UEFA Champions League twice (one still as the ECC) and the UEFA Cup once. It was the first team since the Liverpool F.C. 76-77 squad to win the Champions League after winning the UEFA Cup.
FC Porto is also a leading force in other sports: the handball and basketball team are regular contenders in the Portuguese national titles, and the rink hockey section is amongst the best in the sport. The new arena near the stadium will be completed soon; in past years the non-professional home grounds were scattered in northwestern cities of Portugal (such as Gondomar and Espinho). Commercially, FC Porto has several stores called Loja Azul (Blue Store) scattered around Porto including two used with official supplier Nike. Since 1994 a merchandising goods fair called Portomania is organized during the pre-season, and edits one of the older club related publications in Europe, a monthly 60-page full colour magazine called Dragões (Dragons) that has existed since the early 80's.
Porto supporters and players are often called the dragões (the dragons), though the term the Andrades is also popular after a family with that name sponsored the club for several years. However, since the eighties, it is seen as somewhat derogatory.

Football
FC Porto was originally founded in 1893, but was abandoned until 1906 when Monteiro da Costa revived the club. In the following years it became one of the most important clubs in Portugal, but with less presence in comparison with the Lisbon rivals. In spite of this, the team still went on to win the first two Portuguese championships. Only four titles followed until the beginning of the 80's.
In 1982 Pinto da Costa took control of Porto. The next decades turned what was the fourth team in the overall history of Portuguese football into the biggest title cruncher of the past 20 years. Since 1982, Porto has won 13 titles, achieving the record Penta (five leagues in a row) in 1999, eight Portuguese cups, and has a majority of Supercups, having won 14 out of a possible 26.
When Pinto da Costa joined as president, Porto was the only club from the "big three" without European honours, but that quickly changed. The first final was played against Juventus for the 1984 Cup Winners' Cup, but Porto lost. Three years later, the team led by Artur Jorge, the name hand-picked by Pedroto, won its first European honour, in a thrilling 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich. The following year Porto won the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup, making them the first Portuguese winners of the two cups. The following 16 years saw Porto as a midrange team - often in the final 16, but not progressing further. The exception was in 1994, when Porto reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The semi-final, decided on a single game, resulted in a heavy loss (3-0) at the hands of Johann Cruyff's FC Barcelona, in the Nou Camp.
In 2003, under the guidance of José Mourinho, Porto made a thrilling UEFA Cup run, topped with a victory in a fantastic final against Celtic. The following season meant a higher challenge, but despite a slow start which included a 1-3 loss against Real Madrid, Porto never lost again in the Champions League, relegating O. Marseille to the UEFA Cup (where they reached the final), Manchester United at the Old Trafford in the dying minutes of play, O. Lyon and Depor, becoming the first team to win the competition outside the Big 5 since Ajax in the year of 1995.
After the victory, Porto became the Portuguese side with the most European cups won - 2 CL/ECC plus a UEFA Cup, compared with the two ECC by Benfica and the one CWC by Sporting.
However the victory was the pinnacle of their success, as José Mourinho left to take over as coach at Chelsea FC, many players also departed. They also went through several coaching changes during the 2004/05 season, ending up finishing second to Benfica in the league, and were eliminated in their Champions League cup defense in the Round of 16 by Internazionale.
On December 12 2004, FC Porto won the last-held Intercontinental Cup, by beating Once Caldas from Colombia at an impressive 8-7 after penalty shoot-out.
Porto's importance in the modern football panorama is also widely acknowledged, being one of the founding members of G-14.

Rink hockey
Rink hockey, Portugal's second sport, is one of the most important sections in the club. Started in 1955, FCPorto is one of the Portuguese sides who won the European Champions' Cup, with their second and last victory in 1990. Since then, Porto was a regular contender in the competitions' final-four. The most well known was in 1998, when FC Barcelona won at Porto's Pavilhão Rosa Mota, after which a riot ensued.
While the new indoor arena is being built, Porto will play in the Pavilhão Municipal de Fânzeres, Gondomar.

Handball
While not as popular as football or rink hockey, the celebrations of the 1998-99 titles were only passed by the celebrations of the Penta of the football team, as the previous victory in the championship was in 1968, after dominating the league in much of the 50s. To support costs, like in other clubs, the section also bears the name of a sponsor: FC Porto Vitalis.
