Hi, I’m Carlos! A coach, sports enthusiast, and the founder of FCScout.com.
I fell in love with the game at a very young age like many of you. I’ve been following and playing soccer for many years.
Throughout my career, I always enjoyed helping soccer players chase their dreams, which is why I started this website. I wanted to reach a larger audience outside of my local area and fcscout.com was born.
This website is a platform I will be using to update club pages on any tryouts, stadiums, players, tech, and more from clubs around the world. I also create free recruitment profiles for players looking to have that extra competitive edge when reaching out to clubs.
That’s it. That’s my pitch for you to stick around (or browse the site as you please).
This is already too much text for a “see more” drop-down button thing. If you want to reach out to me, head on over to my contact page 🙂

Boavista F.C. History
Boavista has developed into a prominent sports club in Portugal. The club has sections devoted to a variety of sports, including football, chess, gymnastics, bicycle racing, futsal, volleyball, rink hockey, and boxing, amongst others.
However, the football section is the most well-known due to their signature checkered white and black shirts. This club practices a total of 16 different sports, making it the most diverse of its kind in the North region of Portugal as well as one of the most eclectic sports clubs in Portugal overall.
Boavista is the most decorated Portuguese football club after the “Big Three,” having won 9 major domestic trophies (1 Championship, 5 Portuguese Cups, and 3 domestic Super Cups). These trophies include: 1 Championship, 5 Portuguese Cups, and 3 domestic Super Cups (Benfica, Porto and Sporting CP).
Together with Belenenses, Boavista is the only team from outside the “Big Three” to have won the Portuguese Championship, and they did so in the 2000–2001 season. Boavista competed in the Primeira Liga for a total of 50 seasons, including 39 seasons in a row there. The games played between Boavista and fellow city team Porto are frequently referred to as O Derby da Invicta. Boavista and Porto have a long-standing rivalry.
Stadium
Boavista F.C. plays its home games at the Estádio do Bessa, which is currently known as Estádio do Bessa XXI. The stadium is located in the Boavista neighborhood of Porto, Portugal. The Bessa Stadium, like the other stadiums that were used in Euro 2004, is a new ground that was built on top of the old stands.
However, unlike the other stadiums, the Bessa Stadium was constructed one section at a time, which allowed Boavista to continue playing there. Since 1911, the location that is now occupied by the new stadium was previously occupied by Campo do Bessa.
It has a total seating capacity of 28,263, and its construction cost was €45,164,726 (of which €7,785,735 was financed by the Portuguese state). Before Portugal was awarded the right to host the Euro 2004 tournament in 1999, there were already plans in place for its renovation, and by that time, preliminary construction had already begun. Grupo3 arquitectura was responsible for the design of it.
