Futebol Clube do Porto (commonly referred to as FC Porto or simply Porto) is a Portuguese professional basketball team based in Porto, which represents the sport's section within parent club FC Porto. Founded in 1926, the team competes in the Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol (LPB), the top-tier domestic league, and plays its home matches at the Dragão Caixa arena. The current head coach is Moncho López.
Porto are the second most successful team in Portuguese basketball history, having won twelve championships, thirteen Portuguese Cups, five Portuguese Supercups, seven Portuguese League Cups, and one António Pratas Trophy.
The introduction of the sport in Portugal took place in 1913, and thirteen years later in 1926 a group of partners of the club decided to create a basketball team. António Sanches, António Marta and Daniel Barbosa drove the idea, having them joined by Gabriel Batista and A. Cabral to complete the team. The second place in the Cup António Cardoso guaranteed in the first season excites the community that forms immediately four other basketball teams. FC Porto basketball players trained in an outdoor field complex included in Campo da Constituição.
The decades of the thirties and forties were not very fertile in securities for the basketball section of FC Porto, but still the sport was up solidifying a club that showed increasingly eclectic. In the year 1933, the first Campeonato de Portugal was played, and Porto participated alongside Conimbricense, Académico, Fluvial, Guifões, Sp. Braga, Atlético de Braga and Sporting de Gouveia. In 1940, FC Porto have played in a covered, lighted, on Avenida dos Aliados enclosure. The fruit came in late because in 1947–48 and 1949–50 FC Porto was national champion of the second division and two seasons later was national champion in the First Division in 1951–52 and 1952–53.
