Side by side at Jamor, the 31st and 32nd presidents of FC Porto raised the 20th Portuguese Cup in the blue and white history. Sporting scored first, Evanilson tied soon after and Mehdi Taremi, in extra time, confirmed that the 85th trophy would be added to the club with the most titles in the country. This status was reinforced weeks later in Aveiro, when Sporting was winning 3-0, but lost in an epic turnaround that meant the 24th Super Cup - Vítor Bruno's first trophy leading the coaching team.2023
The year in which the club celebrated 13 decades of existence began in the best possible way with an unprecedented achievement.

Estádio do Jamor was then painted in blue and white 15 days later. Facing Tondela, two goals by Taremi and one by Vitinha secured the Double for the Dragons, who would defeat the same opponent in the Super Cup. The Iranian forward scored two goals again and Evanilson sealed the final result at 3-0.2020

1922
On June 18, FC Porto defeats Sporting 3-1, in the super final of the Portuguese Championship, the first official national competition in football.

1906
The return to activity of FC Porto takes place in 1906, by the hands of José Monteiro da Costa, now with the inclusion of several sports alongside football.
From a debate in a round table, José Monteiro da Costa reactivates the practice of football in the club, even if he couldn’t to count on his friend António Nicolau d'Almeida, who had withdrawn from football.
José Monteiro da Costa chose to paint FC Porto in blue and white, then the colours of the national flag, and approved the first emblem: a blue football ball with the initials FCP in white.
1893
This was the year that António Nicolau d'Almeida, a sportsman by excellence and afine merchant of Port wine, started his project of having a football club in the city. The foundation is celebrated on September 28.
The trips of António Nicolau d'Almeida to England contributed decisively to his passion for the game and his desire to set up a group to play. On October 25, he invited Club Lisbonense to a football match, to be held on March 2, 1894, in Campo Alegre, in Porto.
Club Lisbonense wins, 1-0, with King Carlos I and Queen Amélia attending, testifying to the importance of the event. However, in the following years, the club enters a period of less activity.
