History

Its first official trophy, the "Union of the North cup", was won in 1911. In the following years it became one of the biggest clubs in Portugal and went on to win the first national competition in the history of Portuguese football, the Campeonato da Liga 1934/35. Portugal, officially the Portuguese Republic (República Portuguesa is a country on the Iberian Peninsula. Porto were always a struggling team after that championship, so they went to win only 6 championships in 41 years of dictatorship. But after the Carnation Revolution, the history of Portuguese soccer saw a new title contestant, and a new European team. The Carnation Revolution (Revolução dos Cravos was an almost bloodless military-led pro-democratic Coup d'état, started on April 25, 1974, in Lisbon In the following years, Porto won 16 titles,10 Portuguese cups, 1 European Champions Cup and the new Champions League, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 European Super Cup, and 2 Intercontinental Cup.

Two of the biggest reasons for this change of fortunes were Pinto da Costa who took control of Porto in 1982 and José Maria Pedroto whom he had brought back with him to manage the team. Jorge Nuno de Lima Pinto da Costa, pron. 'ʒɾɾʒ(ɨ 'nunu 'pĩtu dɐ 'koʃtɐ (b José Maria Carvalho Pedroto, OIH, (born 21 October 1928 in Lamego, died 8 January 1985 in Porto The duo quickly caused the team damage, with Pinto da Costa as football director and Pedroto as manager, winning two titles previously, and making controversial remarks about the centralization of Portuguese football, which caused them problems with the directing board, and consequently they left. After quitting, in 1982 Pinto da Costa ran for presidency and won bringing back Pedroto. The following decades turned what was the third team in the overall history of Portuguese football into the biggest title winner of the past 20 years. Since 1982, Porto has won 15 titles, achieving the record Penta (five leagues in a row) in 1999 and since 1976 never finished below 3rd place, nine Portuguese cups, and has a majority of Supercups, having won 15 out of a possible 27.
