Paulo Ferreira played in the PrimieraLiga for the first time against Maritimo. He was on the losing side at the end of the game which Maritimo won 3-1 on August 13, 2001.

FC Porto signed Paulo Ferreira from Vitoria Setubal in the summer of 2002 after he impressed in his debut campaign in the top division. Jose Mourinho was the man who was responsible for his transfer to Porto and he converted him into a right-back. Ferreira had been a right-sided midfielder until his move to Porto.

Portuguese international right-back Ferreira missed just two league games during his time at FC Porto as his club dominated the league thanks to Mourinho.

In his first season at Porto, Ferreira ended it with three major trophies including the UEFA Cup.
