The first edition of the Thinking Football Summit starts this Friday and is close to being sold out. Over the next three days, the Super Bock Arena, in Porto, will be the stage for an event on an international scale and Futebol Clube do Porto will be present in various dimensions.
Liga Portugal aims to host some of the best national and international players in the world of football. Thinking, promoting and growing will be the objectives of this event, which is expected to be a great success for Football.
The high point scheduled for this Friday is the closing ceremony, with the presence of Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa. The President of FC Porto will close the first day of Thinking Football by approaching, in depth, the 40 years of victories as President of FC Porto.

After 40 years, the Dragons won two Champions Leagues, two UEFA Europa Leagues/UEFA Cups, a European Super Cup, and were crowned world champions twice. In addition to international success, national success was added: 23 national championships in the Pinto da Costa region, more than three times the number of championships won by the club in the entire historical period that preceded it, since its foundation in 1893.
