O Jogo (English: The Game) is a Portuguese daily sport newspaper published in Porto, Portugal.

History and profile

O Jogo was first published on 22 February 1985 by the Jornal de Notícias company in Porto, and it is seen as appealing mainly to supporters of FC Porto,[1][2] being publicly criticized by S.L. Benfica,[3][4] suppressing the gap of the two other national sports newspapers, A Bola and Record. O Jogo has also a Lisbon edition.

O Jogo is published in tabloid format.[5] The paper was sold in 1995 to Lusomundo Media subsidiary Jornalinveste,[1] which was later absorbed into Controlinveste in 2005 after Lusomundo Media merged with Olivedesportos, before renaming itself as Global Media Group in 2015.

Circulation

The circulation of O Jogo was 34,837 copies in 2002, 40,677 copies in 2003 and 49,809 copies in 2004.[6] The circulation of the paper was 44,878 copies in 2005, 41,473 copies in 2006 and 35,976 copies in 2007.[6] Its 2010 circulation was 28,900 copies.[7]
