About Estádio do Dragão
The all-seater Estádio do Dragão ("Dragon Stadium" in English) stands in Porto, Portugal. FC Porto has played its home matches there since 2003. Its seating capacity of 50,033 makes it Portugal's third-largest football stadium. Manuel Salgado designed it, Somague built it, and it cost €125 million. It replaced the club's old ground, the Estádio das Antas, and was also built to be among the stadiums hosting matches at the UEFA Euro 2004 final tournament.
Building began in late 2001 and ended in November 2003, some months later than expected. In February 2002, after Porto's mayor, Rui Rio, objected to the plan's upscale housing and shopping, FC Porto's chairman, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, halted all building until a consensus was reached. Its inauguration took place on November 16, 2003, in a friendly against Barcelona, with Lionel Messi, then 16, making his debut for the visiting side. Porto won 2–0, and the attendance of 52,004 set a record. Severe turf problems sent Porto back to its former ground until fresh turf had been planted by mid-February 2004.
The club unveiled the name Estádio do Dragão, explaining that the dragon appears in the club's symbol and the city's coat of arms. Its frame is built from 21,000 m2 of azulejos. At UEFA Euro 2004 the stadium staged the opener, in which Portugal, the hosts, met Greece, who went on to win the tournament, plus three group stage matches, a quarterfinal and a semifinal. It also staged matches at the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals and hosted the 2021 UEFA Champions League Final, where Chelsea FC beat Manchester City 1–0 with a goal by Kai Havertz.
