In the case of Futebol Clube do Porto, the statistical picture is necessarily different, reflecting the still early phase of the project in women’s football. The senior team was created recently, in the 2024/25 season, and is still in the process of establishing itself on the national scene.
Without an accumulated presence in the main competitions over the last few years, FC Porto does not, for now, have official titles in the senior women’s category. However, early competitive indicators reveal a solid start. The team has competed in II National Divisionwhere he presented a solid record, with a high percentage of victories and an effective defense, elements that supported the progression of the season.
Despite the size of the clubs involved, there is virtually no history of direct clashes between senior women’s teams. Thus, the Portuguese Cup final will also serve as the first major official duel between the two teams in the women’s division, adding additional meaning to the encounter.
The only competitive record involving structures of the two clubs occurred this season, but against Benfica B teamin a Division II game, which ended with a goalless draw (0-0). Still, this meeting does not serve as a direct reference for the reality that will be found in the final, due to the difference in context and squad.
In terms of statistics and competitive experience, Benfica appears as the favorite, as a result of the consistency shown in recent seasons and the dominance shown in national competitions. Even so, FC Porto enters the field with the competition’s surprise status and with the motivation of those looking to win a historic title at an early stage of their project.
