FC Porto has a series of initiatives underway to symbolize, on Sunday, the first anniversary of the death of former president Pinto da Costa. As revealed by the newspaper “O Jogo”, and as confirmed by JN, a shirt entitled “Presidente dos Presidentes” will be launched this Friday, a limited edition of 2594 copies, each referring to one of the titles won by the club during his presidency, with the number 42 on the back, symbolizing the years in which he led the dragons, between 1982 and 2024.
The shirt will be equipped with an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip, a technology used to transmit data wirelessly between devices, which will direct the cell phone, for example, to a page with all the information about the title in question.
In the early hours of Sunday, the day that marks precisely one year since the death of Pinto da Costa, victim of prostate cancer, there will be, at 00.42 hours, a new moment of tribute through a drone display at Estádio do Dragão, which will be visible from outside the venue.
On that day, a digital version of the memorial built to honor Pinto da Costa will also be available on the official website of the blue and whites, the physical version of which has already been visited by more than 15 thousand people, and can be visited virtually. This memorial is the result of thousands of scarves and other artifacts deposited by fans at Estádio do Dragão the day after the former president’s death.
