In this decisive night, FC Porto and Torreense will face off in the 48th edition of the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira in Coimbra. The match between the ‘dragões’ and the ‘azuis grená’ promises to be an interesting encounter, with the national champions aiming to reinforce their dominance in the only internal competition where they have more titles than the other four clubs combined.
The Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira is a traditional fixture on the Portuguese football calendar, marked by the presence of the three ‘grandes’ (Benfica, Porto and Sporting) in the last 28 editions. However, Torreense's participation this year represents a new chapter in the history of this competition.
The 'azuis grená', who belong to the II Liga, are the 18th club to compete in this traditional opening match of the football season. This year, the Supertaça returns to the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra after an absence of 22 years and four decisions.
The game kicks off at 20:15 and will be officiated by André Narciso from the Setúbal association.
