The fan's passion will be proudly expressed during the games, especially if they are playing local rival Boavista. These games can often get heated with the fans enjoying the back and forth trading of chants and insults.There is a small, dangerous section of Porto Ultras that need to be watched out for as they are not fans of many English teams and may look to start trouble.

The fans have something to celebrate and cheer for most weeks and you really get the feeling that they love their club.
