Porto suffered a sort of drought after that and managed just 6 national league titles in the subsequent 41 years of dictatorship. After that they resurfaced so much so that they became European powerhouses.

FC Port play their home matches at the Estadio do Dragao that can entertain a crowd of 51,000. The club bears the nicknames Dragaos (Dragons), Azuis e brancos (Blue and White) and Os Tripeiros(the Gutters).
