What is planned for the day? In the morning, at the training center named after Jorge Costa, club officials, coaching staff, players, and staff will gather for a private tribute. At 7 PM, there will be a mass at the Cristo Rei Parish Church in Foz, where the funeral ceremonies took place last year. The main squad of the dragons will be present, along with club officials.

Why is this important for Porto? Jorge Costa was a central figure at Porto, both as the captain of the team that won the Champions League in 2004 and in his administrative role. The club wants to ensure his memory is celebrated in a dignified manner.

What happens to the Supertaça trophy? The Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira trophy, won by Porto last season, will be part of the tributes to Jorge Costa.
