FC Porto have just won their 31st league title, taking their tally to 87 official trophies, an unmatched record in Portugal. By finishing top of the 2025/26 league, the newly crowned champions have also secured direct qualification for the UEFA Champions League and a place in the Super Cup, where they will face the winners of the Portuguese Cup at the start of the 2026/27 campaign.

The story of success began in 1922. Victory over Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Championship final saw the club recognised as the country’s first national champion, a status reinforced 13 years later in 1935, with the victory in the first Primeira Liga.

The blue and white shirts have also earned prestige across Europe and the World. In 1987, in Vienna, Bayern Munich fell to the Dragons in the European Cup final; in the months that followed, the record expanded with victories in the Intercontinental Cup against Peñarol in Tokyo and the European Super Cup against Ajax at Estádio das Antas.

Twelve years later came a historic milestone: Portugal’s first and only five-time consecutive champions. That unprecedented achievement was built between August 21, 1994 and May 30, 1999, thanks to the effort of remarkable players and coaches that laid foundations for a new era of international success at the turn of the millennium.
After winning their first UEFA Cup in Seville in 2003, the club had the competence, seriousness,  ambition and passion to aim for more. The result was a fairytale triumph: UEFA Champions League winners in Gelsenkirchen just 12 months later. That golden year also saw FC Porto crowned world champions once again, defeating Once Caldas to lift a second Intercontinental Cup.

In 2011, among victories in Portugal and abroad, came another landmark: the first all-Portuguese European final. A goal from Radamel Falcao capped a remarkable season under André Villas-Boas, as the Dragons added the Europa League to the Portuguese League (won with a record 21-point lead over Benfica), the Portuguese Cup, and the Super Cup. The league title – secured without conceding any defeat – was sealed on April 3, with a 2–1 victory in Lisbon.

Eleven years after celebrating in the dark, FC Porto were crowned champions once again at Estádio da Luz in 2022. On May 7, deep into stoppage time, Zaidu sprinted the length of the pitch before being set up by Pepê to seal the title, finishing with a record 91 points, a mark that could still be matched this season.

The year marking the club’s 130th anniversary began in perfect fashion with their first-ever League Cup triumph, meaning the Dragons held all four domestic trophies simultaneously. Also etched into history was an extraordinary 4–3 comeback win over Sporting Lisbon, at Estádio Municipal de Aveiro, which took their Super Cup tally to 24, more than all their rivals combined.

The summary is simple: the first national champions under both formats of the Portuguese league, the only five-time consecutive champions in both the league and Super Cup, the only Portuguese club to win both the Europa League and the Champions League in different formats, and the only one to be crowned world champions. Not everyone can say that.
