Futebol Clube do Porto (Portuguese pronunciation: [futɨˈβɔl ˈkluβɨ ðu ˈpoɾtu]), commonly referred to as FC Porto or simply Porto, is a Portuguese professional handball team based in Porto. Created in 1932, it is the senior representative side of the handball section of multi-sports club FC Porto.
The team competes domestically in the top-tier league Andebol 1 and internationally in European Handball Federation club competitions. It plays its home matches at the Dragão Arena, alongside the club's basketball and roller hockey teams. The current head coach is former Portuguese international and Porto player Carlos Resende.
History
The section started in 1932 with a field handball (eleven-a-side) team, which played competitive matches until 1974–75, when it was discontinued in favour of seven-a-side handball. During this period, the club won 37 regional and 29 national league titles in the field handball discipline.
In 1951, the club established the handball section whose team won the Portuguese league title for the first time in 1953–54, and increased that tally with eight further titles by 1968. Porto then endured a 31-year drought before winning the national league title again in 1998–99. In the 2014–15 season, the team secured their seventh consecutive league title, establishing a national record. In the previous season, the team also debuted in the EHF Champions League group stage, after overcoming the qualification tournament for the first time in five consecutive attempts.
Founded in 1932, FC Porto has established itself as one of the most successful handball clubs in Portugal, winning numerous league titles and domestic cup competitions. The team is known for its strong defensive play, quick transitions, and skilled players who excel in both attack and defense.
FC Porto has also had success on the European stage, competing in prestigious competitions such as the EHF Champions League. The team has a dedicated fan base that supports them at home games and travels to cheer them on in away matches.
Overall, FC Porto is a powerhouse in Portuguese handball, known for their competitive spirit, skilled players, and commitment to excellence on the court.
