In a note published on its official website, the 'blue and white' emblem specified the estimate of total turnout in the suffrage, which took place between 09:00 and 20:00, at the Estádio do Dragão, in Porto. During the afternoon, FC Porto had already confirmed that it had surpassed the record set in 1988, when 10,731 members voted in the first of two victories by Pinto da Costa over José Martins Soares. Around 20:00, the perimeter that demarcated the Estádio do Dragão was closed, but the members who were still in the queue at closing time were able to vote, leading the ballot boxes to close definitively about half an hour later. The record for turnout in the elections of the social bodies of Portuguese clubs continues to belong to Benfica, which counted 40,115 in 2021, at the time of the first election of the current 'incarnate' president Rui Costa. The elections of the social bodies of FC Porto for the four-year period 2024-2028 are contested by three candidacies, led by the current president Pinto da Costa (list A), André Villas-Boas (B), former coach of the football team, and Nuno Lobo (C), businessman and teacher, also including an independent list for the Superior Council led by Miguel Brás da Cunha (D).
Pinto da Costa is the 33rd maximum leader in the history of 'blue and white' and is trying to achieve a 16th consecutive term, at a time when he has 42 consecutive years of presidency, holding the status of leader with the most titles and longevity in world football.
