Why Leixões

Leixões are not a spare club. They are Portugal LigaPro, Estádio do Mar, and 119 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Close to the pitch
Estádio do Mar holds about 6,000. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
You get a nickname
Known as Os Bebés (The Babies) Heróis do Mar (Heroes of the Sea). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) is about 7km from the ground, and Pedro Hispano metro station is 0km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Following Portugal LigaPro means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Portugal becomes part of your week.
