FCP - is a Portuguese sports club best known for its footballing exploits. It was founded in Porto in 1893. The club is considered one of the "Big Three" clubs in Portugal. It holds the best European record by a Portuguese team, having won the European Cup and the Intercontinental Cup twice each. In 2003, it brought Portugal's first UEFA Cup and in 1987 it brought Portugal's first UEFA Supercup. Domestically it holds the second best record (behind rivals Benfica), having won the league 22 times, the Portuguese Cup 14 times and Portuguese Supercup 15 times.
The football home ground is the Estádio do Dragão, which replaced previous home Estádio das Antas in 2003. FC Porto is also a leading force in other sports: the handball and basketball teams are regular contenders for the national titles and the roller hockey section is amongst the best in the sport worldwide. The new multi-sport arena near the stadium will be completed soon; in past years the non-professional home grounds were scattered around neighbouring cities (such as Gondomar, Matosinhos and Espinho).
