Why Porto II

Porto II are not a spare club. They are Portugal LigaPro, Estádio do Bessa, and 133 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Deep roots
Founded in 1893, Porto II were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 133 years of accumulated grudges.
Loaded cabinet
6 distinct honours on record, including Primeira Liga. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Proper ground
Estádio do Bessa takes roughly 28,263, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.
You get a nickname
Known as Os Axadrezados (The Chequered Ones) Boavisteiros As Panteras (The Panthers) Os P. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
