Futebol Clube do Porto, commonly known as FC Porto or simply Porto (aka Blue and Whites or Dragons), has conquered the national title of Champion of the Primeira Liga, the top flight of Portuguese football, for the season 2017-2018.

The team will celebrate the title with fans and aficionados at Porto City Hall. This occasion is very special as it did not happen since 1999, although Porto had won the national title for several years.

Porto City Hall will open its doors to the Dragons but only after the last calendar match of the season versus Vitória SC in Guimarães.

In a date soon to be announced, FC Porto will head to Avenida dos Aliados to resume the tradition to celebrating its victories at the very heart of the Invicta.

Porto is the most decorated Portuguese team in international competitions (European Cup/UEFA Champions League in 1987 and 2004, the UEFA Cup/Europa League in 2003 and 2011, the UEFA Super Cup in 1987, and the Intercontinental Cup in 1987 and 2004. Runners-up in the 1983-84 European Cup Winners' Cup and in the 2003, 2004 and 2011 editions of the UEFA Super Cup).

Besides, Porto is the only Portuguese club to have won the UEFA Cup/Europa League, the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup, and to have achieved a continental treble of domestic league, domestic cup and European titles (2002-03 and 2010-11).

Also remarkable is the fact that Porto, alongside Barcelona and Real Madrid, has the most appearances in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
