Overview

In late July 2026 FC Porto opened its new season with a presentation at the Estádio do Dragão, announcing the retirement of futsal veteran Amílcar Gomes and unveiling signings such as South Korean midfielder Inbeom Hwang. Two days later a friendly against English side Aston Villa ended in a 2‑1 win, with Pepê scoring the decisive goal before halftime. Manager Francesco Farioli praised the squad’s work rate and rotation, looking ahead to the Supertaça.

The preseason continued with a closed‑door match against Liga 3 side São João de Ver, which Porto also won 2‑1, further testing squad depth and recent arrivals. Farioli reiterated his rotation policy as the team prepares for the upcoming Supertaça against Torreense. The club’s early fixtures underscore a focus on integrating new players while maintaining competitive performance ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
