[1] Having revived the club in August 1906, president José Monteiro da Costa immediately sought a place to build its sports facilities.
Next to his house in Rua da Rainha (Queen's Street) – renamed Rua Antero de Quental following the 1910 Republican revolution – Monteiro da Costa rented a non-cultivated terrain from the Companhia Hortícola Portuense, the local horticultural society.
On this terrain, the club erected a football pitch surrounded by a running track and stands with seats for 600 spectators, including a VIP tribune, a changing room equipped with showers and sinks, a bar and a gym.
In 1907, the club headquarters were moved from their first location in Rua Santa Teresa to the Campo da Raínha facilities.
In 1911, Porto was warned by the city council that it had to abandon the Campo da Raínha, because a factory was planned to be constructed on that site.
