At FC Porto, the pursuit of excellence is woven into the very fabric of the club’s identity. Tradition, passion, and relentless hard work have long defined its success. But today, as Performance Director Pedro Silva highlights, sustaining excellence demands something more: innovation, precision, and a commitment to the intelligent use of data.
In a bold move aligned with a broader strategic vision led by President André Villas-Boas, FC Porto has embraced Teamworks AMS — not just as a tool, but as a catalyst for organisational transformation across every level of the club.
“When we made the decision to adopt Teamworks AMS, we weren’t simply looking for a new tool — we were embracing a broader strategic vision for the club,” Silva explains. “Guided by our President, we recognised the need to position FC Porto at the forefront of performance science, inspired by global leaders in organisational excellence.”
Unifying High Performance Through Centralised Data
One of the first major impacts of Teamworks AMS at FC Porto has been the ability to unify the club’s high-performance departments. From medical and physical assessments to training load management, nutrition tracking, and wellness monitoring, all key data points now flow into a single platform. This centralisation fosters seamless, real-time collaboration between medical, technical, and performance teams — ensuring that no critical insight is ever lost.
“In a high-performance environment where margins are razor-thin, evidence-based decision-making becomes essential,” Silva notes. “Teamworks AMS enables us to move away from intuition-driven approaches toward objective, data-informed decisions — whether managing workloads, preventing injuries, or planning individualised recovery strategies.”
Empowering Athletes with Access and Responsibility
Beyond operational efficiency, FC Porto is using Teamworks AMS to empower its players. Athletes will have direct access to their performance metrics and individualised feedback, encouraging greater engagement and ownership over their own development paths.
At the same time, FC Porto remains deeply committed to safeguarding player privacy. Teamworks AMS’s robust security protocols ensure that sensitive information is protected, fostering trust at every level of the organisation.
Flexibility for Every Team and Athlete
A critical advantage for FC Porto has been Teamworks AMS’s flexibility. The platform’s dashboards, workflows, and reporting structures can be tailored to fit the unique needs of the club’s First Team, Academy, Reserve Team, women’s teams, and even indoor sports like basketball, handball, volleyball, and roller hockey.
“This ensures that every staff member, across every level, receives the information and tools that are most relevant to their role,” Silva says.
Building a Sustainable High-Performance Culture
For FC Porto, the adoption of Teamworks AMS marks a step far beyond short-term performance optimisation. It reflects a long-term commitment to building a sustainable, high-performance culture where science, technology, and innovation are embedded into every decision, session, and strategy.
“Teamworks AMS is more than a platform for us — it is a strategic partner in our mission to build a smarter, stronger, and more resilient FC Porto,” Silva affirms. “In today’s competitive landscape, excellence is achieved not by tradition alone, but by those who embrace innovation with discipline and vision.”
With Teamworks AMS, FC Porto is setting new standards — not only for themselves but for Portuguese and European football — proving that the future belongs to those willing to lead with intelligence, courage, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
