Porto’s first Club World Cup campaign in over 20 years begins against Brazilian outfit Palmeiras on Sunday night.
Porto prevailed in the 2004 Intercontinental Cup final after claiming UEFA Champions League glory under José Mourinho in Gelsenkirchen. The great Portuguese club haven’t come particularly close to claiming a second European title in the aftermath, but their steady performances in recent years saw them qualify for FIFA’s revamped Club World Cup via the ranking pathway.
