FC Porto fans have demonstrated overwhelming support for their team, quickly purchasing thousands of tickets for an upcoming match against lower-tier club Celoricense in Barcelos.
Over 4,000 tickets for the game, scheduled for later today, had already been sold by yesterday. This high demand comes despite the opponent’s position in a lower division.

The fixture pits FC Porto against Celoricense, a team from Portugal’s third-tier league, the Campeonato de Portugal.
Such matches typically generate less media attention. However, the strong fan turnout underscores the unwavering loyalty of Porto’s supporters, regardless of the opponent’s standing.
The game is being held in a stadium primarily used by Gil Vicente.
