Official presentation of the book Porto Football Association. A Centennial Institution

The official presentation ceremony of the book Porto Football Association. A Centennial Institution, by Fernando de Sousa, Isilda Monteiro, Diogo Ferreira and Ricardo Rocha, took place on January 26 at the Auditorium of the Football Association of Porto. The book was presented by the Rector of the University of Porto, Prof. Dr. Sebastião Feyo de Azevedo and the secretary of State of Youth and Sport.

This work, published by CEPESE, presents the centenary history of Porto Football Association, from its origins to the present, in the context of the history of Portugal, but also of national and international football, whose development marked the life of the Association itself. Across over 500 richly illustrated pages, the book revisits the institution's memoirs, the personalities that contributed to its current dimension, its affiliated clubs and their national and international conquests. It also addresses the new variants of football, such as women's football, futsal, street football and beach soccer.
