About

Futebol Clube do Porto (Portuguese pronunciation: ), commonly referred to as FC Porto, or simply Porto, is a Portuguese professional basketball team based in Porto. Created in 1926, it is the senior representative side of the basketball section of multi-sports club FC Porto. The team competes domestically in the Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol (LPB) and internationally in FIBA Europe competitions, such as the Basketball Champions League and the FIBA Europe Cup. It plays its home matches at the Dragão Arena, alongside the club's handball and roller hockey teams, and is managed by Spanish head coach Moncho López since 2009. In 2012, the section was reformulated and the senior team was disbanded in favor of a youth team called "Dragon Force", which began competing in the third-tier CNB 1. The team was promoted to the LPB in 2015 and changed its name back to FC Porto.
