Futebol Clube do Porto (Portuguese pronunciation:), commonly referred to as FC Porto or simply Porto, is a Portuguese professional handball team based in Porto. Created in 1932, it is the senior representative side of the handball section of sports club FC Porto.
The team competes domestically in the top-tier league Andebol 1 and internationally in European Handball Federation club competitions. Home matches are played at the Dragão Arena, alongside the men's basketball and roller hockey, and women's volleyball teams. The current head coach is former Swedish international Magnus Andersson, who returned to the club after a one-season break, having held the job from 2018 to 2023.

## History

The section started in 1932 with a field handball (eleven-a-side) team, which played competitive matches until 1974–75, when it was discontinued in favour of seven-a-side handball. During this period, the club won 37 regional and 29 national league titles in the field handball discipline.
In 1951, the club established the handball section whose team won the Portuguese league title for the first time in 1953–54, and increased that tally with eight further titles by 1968. Porto then endured a 31-year drought before winning the national league title again in 1998–99. In the 2014–15 season, the team secured their seventh consecutive league title, establishing a national record. 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.
