Additional Information
Clube de Futebol «Os Belenenses», usually known simply as Belenenses, founded in 1919, is one of the leading Portuguese sports clubs. It is based in the Belém quarter of Lisbon, hence the club name, which translates as "The ones from Belém". The main activities of the club are football, handball, basketball, futsal, athletics, and rugby. The club has won major national championships in all these sports, but remains best known for its original activity, football. They have won the Portuguese Liga once (1945/1946), the only team, together with Boavista FC, to do so outside the Big Three: (FC Porto, Sporting CP and SL Benfica). When the Portuguese Liga started Beleneneses was one of Portugal's "Big four". It was the first club to compete in the UEFA Cup in an exciting 3-3 draw with Hibernian(at the time one of Scotland's biggest teams) at the Estádio do Restelo in Belem. Like many Portuguese clubs, fanclubs can be found in Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Belgium and Canada. In Portugal the club is the 4th most popular after SL Benfica, Sporting Clube de Portugal and FC Porto in number of socios (Socios are paying supporters). In 1933 the club was the most successful in Portugal with the most titles and Cups.
