On matchday

FC Porto's two ultra groups face each other from behind the goals: Super Dragões in the south stand and Colectivo Ultras 95 in the north, as they did at the old Antas. Super Dragões, founded in 1986, are known for a fervent atmosphere against visiting teams and constant support for Porto.
