Taking a Stand with the Super Dragons
Porto's Villas-Boas under intense pressure with Super Dragons causing strife.
In a bold move, the Super Dragons, the passionate fan group of FC Porto, expressed their discontent in a recent social media post, criticizing the board's support for André Villas-Boas' leadership. This dissatisfaction was initiated due to the board's perceived lack of effort in allowing the fan group to attend the Club World Cup happening from June 14 to July 13, 2025, in the United States.
The Super Dragons' statement began with a strong statement, "We hereby express our deep dissatisfaction and regret the lack of support from FC Porto's board regarding the presence of the fan group at the Club World Cup, as previously agreed and outlined in Article 76 of the club's statutes."
With a heavy heart, they went on to express their frustration, "It is with great sadness that we observe the lack of institutional backing to allow representatives of Porto's passion to accompany the team at an event of such global importance and visibility. This situation contradicts the principles that have always guided our relationship with the club, founded on commitment, respect, and mutual support."
Yet, the Super Dragons remained resilient, affirming their unwavering loyalty to FC Porto, "We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to FC Porto, its history, and its values, hoping that situations like this will be reviewed to ensure that the voice and support of the fan base are never overlooked." They concluded their statement with a hopeful note, "Super Dragons, June 2025."
It's worth noting that FC Porto will compete in the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which will feature 32 teams compared to the previous 8. However, André Villas-Boas' role as coach and any potential dissatisfaction from the Super Dragons regarding his leadership weren't explicitly mentioned in the search results.
As for fan support and attendance at the Club World Cup, ticket prices initially seemed high, but have been adjusted to accommodate more fans due to low interest in the tournament.
For more specific insights into the Super Dragons' concerns, exploring fan forums or FC Porto-specific news could provide valuable context.
