List of FC Porto seasons
Porto players celebrate the club's 24th championship title and fourth consecutive in 2008–09.
Futebol Clube do Porto is a Portuguese sports club founded in 1893 in Porto . Its association football team played its first competitive matches in 1911, when it took part and won the first edition of the José Monteiro da Costa Cup .[ 1] Two years later, the club began competing in the Campeonato do Porto , a regional championship organised by the Porto Football Association .[ 2] In 1921–22, Porto won the inaugural Campeonato de Portugal , a nationwide competition to determine the Portuguese champions from among the winners of the different regional championships.[ 3] [ 4]
The Primeira Liga was established in 1934–35 as an experimental nationwide competition played in a league format, and was contested in parallel with the Campeonato de Portugal.[ 3] Porto were its first winners and repeated the triumph in 1938–39, when it became the official top-tier championship in place of the Campeonato de Portugal, which was converted into the Taça de Portugal .[ 3] [ 5] Porto is one of three clubs, together with Benfica and Sporting CP , to have never been relegated from the Primeira Liga since its establishment.[ 6] Between 1940 and 1978, Porto endured the darkest period of its league history, during which they collected only two titles (1955–56 and 1958–59),[ 7] and recorded an all-time low ninth place (1969–70).[ 8] Under the presidency of Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa (1982–2024), Porto experienced routine league success, winning the competition 23 times in 40 seasons – five of them in succession (1995–1999), a record in Portuguese football.[ 7] The club achieved their first league and cup double in 1956, and have repeated it eight more times (1988, 1998, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2020, 2022).[ 9] [ 10]
Porto's debut in international competitions took place in 1956–57, when they competed in the second edition of the European Cup .[ 11] They reached their first European final in 1984 , losing the Cup Winners' Cup to Juventus ,[ 12] and won their first European silverware three years later, beating Bayern Munich in the 1987 European Cup Final .[ 13] The following season, Porto collected the European Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup trophies.[ 14] [ 15] In 2003, they won the UEFA Cup for the first time,[ 16] becoming the only Portuguese team to have won any of these three international trophies.[ 17] [ 18] [ 19]
As a start of the 2024–25 season , Porto have won 86 major honours,[ a] which include 30 Primeira Liga, 20 Taça de Portugal, 1 Taça da Liga , 24 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira , 4 Campeonato de Portugal, 2 European Cup/UEFA Champions League , 2 UEFA Cup/Europa League, 1 UEFA Super Cup , and 2 Intercontinental Cup .[ 20]
