Estádio do Dragão

Stadium

Capacity: 50,033

Estádio do Dragão is more than FC Porto’s home ground — it’s one of Portugal’s standout modern stadiums. Built for top-level tournaments in the early 2000s, it’s known for its clean, contemporary silhouette and the airy “veil” roof that lets in natural light while framing the bowl beautifully. With roughly 50,000 all-seater capacity, Dragão delivers strong sightlines across the stands and an intimate feel close to the pitch, making it a great setting for football nights and large-scale live productions alike.

Inside, the experience is designed to flow: clear concourses, spacious access points, and an atmosphere-enhancing acoustic that carries crowd energy well. Visitors often highlight the comfortable seating and practical food-and-drink options, plus on-site attractions within the complex — including the FC Porto Museum if you want to explore the club’s story beyond matchday.

The exact location is Via Futebol Clube do Porto, Porto, Portugal. Approaches are well signposted, and the most convenient “right-to-the-gates” landmark is the Estádio do Dragão metro stop directly next to the stadium, with car access and parking options in the surrounding complex area.

What is the capacity of Estádio do Dragão?

Estádio do Dragão in Porto has an official capacity of 50,033 seats. This gives spectators a wide range of seating options, from premium tribunes near the floor to upper rows with panoramic views. The capacity places Estádio do Dragão among the more important venues for Europa League, and the atmosphere during big events depends on how full the lower home sectors are. Booking tickets early is recommended — the best-view sections sell out fastest.

Who is the home team?

The home team is FC Porto, hosting this match at Estádio do Dragão in Porto. Home fans traditionally shape match tempo, and FC Porto averages more points at home than away. The visiting side Nottingham Forest faces the added challenge of travel and adaptation, which in elite competitions often means preparation without rest days between matches. Home-team status here also means the choice of dressing room and first warm-up access.

When is the match played?

The event is scheduled for Thursday, 9 April 2026 at 8:00 PM local time in Porto. The local start may differ from your time zone — being near the venue two hours before start is recommended for security checks and getting your bearings. Doors typically open 60 to 90 minutes before the start. If you're traveling from abroad, factor in arrival time given local public transport and possible congestion.

How much does a ticket cost?

Ticket prices for this match start from Check price via Viagogo and other verified partners. The exact price depends on the sector, seat category (away, neutral, home, premium box) and demand which rises closer to the match date. The amount includes platform fees and mandatory buyer protection. The cheapest tickets are typically in upper sectors in the away zone, while premium box seats can cost several times more. Final price and currency are displayed on the seller page after seat selection.
