The 48th Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira on 1 August 2026 in Coimbra saw defending champions FC Porto beat second‑division SCU Torreense 1‑0, Victor Froholdt heading the only goal. The win gave Porto its 25th Super Cup and its 88th official national trophy, moving the club ahead of Benfica as Portugal’s most decorated side. Coach Francesco Farioli, celebrating his second trophy with Porto, highlighted the slippery pitch and a knee injury to defender Jan Bednarek, and praised Torreense’s physical play. The victory also secured Porto’s place in the upcoming Europa League campaign and set a positive tone for the 2026‑27 season, including the defence of their league title. Additionally, the match served as the first test of a government‑approved low‑alcohol beverage pilot ahead of the 2030 World Cup. Contract extensions for goalkeeper Diogo Costa and defender Froholdt were confirmed. The decisive goal came from Danish midfielder Victor Froholdt in the 38th minute. Torreense entered the match as the 2024/25 Taça de Portugal winners, providing a strong challenge. Bednarek suffered a knee strain during the game but remained on the field as Porto held on to claim the cup.
