History and description<\/h3>\n

Est\u00e1dio do Drag\u00e3o was built to provide FC Porto with a modern home and Euro 2004<\/a> with one of its flagship venues. It replaced FC Porto\u2019s old Est\u00e1dio das Antas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Estadio do Dragao is estimated to have cost \u20ac98 million. It officially opened on 16 November 2003 with a friendly between FC Porto and Barcelona (2-0), which was the debut of Lionel Messi in Barcelona’s first team.<\/p>\n
