The FC Porto handball team is the senior representative of the handball section of FC Porto, a Portuguese sports club based in Porto. The team competes in the Andebol 1, the top-tier domestic league, and plays its home matches at the Dragão Caixa arena. The current head coach is former club player and captain Ricardo Costa, who replaced six-time champion Serbian coach Ljubomir Obradović in the beginning of the 2015–16 season.

History

The section started in 1932 with a field handball (eleven-a-side) team, which played competitive matches until 1974–75, when the discipline was discontinued in favour of the current seven-a-side handball. In this period, the club won 37 regional league titles and 29 national league titles.[1]

In 1951 the club established the handball section, whose team won the Portuguese league for the first time in the 1953–54 season. By 1968, it had increased that tally with a further eight titles.[2] Porto endured a 31-year drought before winning the national league again in the 1998–99 season. In the 2014–15 season, the team secured their seventh consecutive league title, establishing a national handball record.[3] In the previous season, the team also debuted in the EHF Champions League group stage, after overcoming the qualification tournament for the first time in five consecutive attempts.[4]

Honours

The club is one of the most successful in domestic competitions, holding the record for the most league, league cup, and super cup titles.[5]
