Estádio do Dragão has a capacity for 50033 attendants and has unique advantages that, supported by green areas and the restructure of surrounding accesses to the sports complex, residential, and commercial areas, turned it into a new centre of Porto. The stadium is a reference in terms of sports and culture in the city and region.
The opening ceremony on November 16, 2003, had the main event of the friendly between FC Porto and the guest of honour FC Barcelona, a match that the blue and whites won 2-0 (goals scored by Derlei and Hugo Almeida). After that, Estádio do Dragão held the opening match of Euro 2004, opposing Portugal and Greece, and was the stage of an incredible blue and white journey towards European victory, in season 2003/2004. In 2019, it hosted the very first edition of UEFA’s Nations League tournament, won by Portugal, after beating out Switzerland and the Netherlands at Dragão.
It has also served as the stage for concerts like The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Muse, One Direction and for events like Race of Champions.
