FC Porto are set to square off with Atlético Madrid in what promises to be a compelling pre-season showdown at the Estádio do Dragão.
After a disappointing run at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, where Porto failed to register a single win, the Portuguese giants are back on the training pitch and looking to regroup. This friendly offers the perfect platform to fine-tune tactics and shake off the rust ahead of the new campaign.
Atlético Madrid, who also came up short at the Club World Cup and exited at the group stage, return from their summer break with a point to prove. Diego Simeone is overseeing some fresh changes in the squad, making this clash a good early gauge of how his reshaped side is coming together.

Team news & squads
FC Porto team news
Porto may be without Diogo Costa and Marko Grujić, both of whom are reportedly struggling with fitness concerns. On a brighter note, 18-year-old Rodrigo Mora has turned heads following a breakout 2024-25 Liga Portugal season. The young midfielder bagged 10 goals and provided four assists, impressive numbers from the engine room, and also netted in the Club World Cup, further cementing his reputation as one to watch.
Atletico Madrid team news
Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid arrive at full strength. Star forward Julián Álvarez, who led their line with energy and consistency last season, is back in training and expected to spearhead their attack once more. With his sharpness in the final third, he remains a key figure for Simeone's plans going forward.
