Campo Da Constituição
Campo da Constituição ( en, Constitution Field) was a football stadium in Porto, Portugal, which served as the home ground of FC Porto between 1913 and 1952.

The estate was leased by a yearly fee of 350 ''escudos''.

The growth implied a new ground, the first guidelines appeared in 1933.
