(Redirected from Sporting CP)
'Sporting Clube de Portugal' (pron. ) is a sports club based in Lisbon, Portugal. The club is particularly renowned for its football branch, which is Portugal's most followed sport. With about 100,000 registered club members[1], Sporting is among the most successful and popular sports clubs in Portugal, its teams, athletes and supporters being oftenly nicknamed "''os Leões''" - "the Lions".
Along with F.C. Porto and S.L. Benfica, Sporting Clube de Portugal is one of the "Big Three" clubs in Portugal. It is one of the clubs with the greatest number of medals and victories in olympic competitions worldwide as well as being one of the most notable on an European level, in the number of trophies won in every sport.
The club's foundation was instigated by José Holtreman Roquette (José of Alvalade), with the support in money and land of his grandfather, Alfredo Augusto das Neves Holtreman, Viscount of Alvalade. The Viscount of Alvalade was the first President of Sporting Clube de Portugal. The club was established in 1902 as ''Sport Club de Belas'', which became ''Campo Grande Sporting Club'' in 1904, and took its current name of Sporting Clube de Portugal in 1906.
Within Portugal, the club is often referred to simply as "''Sporting''". Outside Portugal, the most commonly used name of the club is "''Sporting Lisbon''". In the past the club has attempted to shed this name, particularly through ex-president Sousa Cintra and his staff, in an effort to become known abroad by its native name. Despite this, the English-language media still uses ''Sporting Lisbon'' due to precedent and to avoid confusion with other clubs such as Sporting Braga, Sporting Covilhã and Sporting Gijón, instead of using a more proper and accurate name like ''Sporting Portugal''.
Sporting Clube de Portugal is a multisports club, parent to many different competitive departments, including football, futsal, athletics and handball, amongst others. The football department (officially, Sporting - Sociedade Desportiva de Futebol, S.A.D.), is the largest by budget and popularity, being since 1998 an autonomous publicly held company whose stock is traded on the Euronext Lisbon. The other departments of the club (the ranks of which include Olympic winners and World Champions) are managed by specialized professionals according to each sport specificity and have their own policy and government bodies.
Football is the most popular sport in Portugal and the Portuguese Football League the most important sports championship, where the top teams earn a place in the most demanding and profitable European football competitions - the European Champions League and the UEFA Cup. The club's football team has won 18 championship titles, 13 cups and the former Cup Winners' Cup in 1964, their only European title.
Sporting Clube de Portugal has been a major contender in the Portuguese League since the beginning. The club's football department developed an increasingly professionalized profile which operates in an increasingly competitive environment in Portugal and Europe. In 1998, the football department of the club was reorganized into a company and issued stock on the market. Since then Sporting - Sociedade Desportiva de Futebol, S.A.D. is a publicly traded company which is listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock exchange.
Sporting Clube de Portugal boasts a new stadium, Estádio José Alvalade, built for the 2004 European Football Championship. Sporting also has a world-class football training facility (''Academia Sporting'' in Alcochete), which accommodated Portugal during the Euro 2004 competition, and helped to produce some of the best Portuguese players, such as Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was designed by Tomás Taveira and was classified by UEFA as a 5-star stadium, enabling it to host finals of major UEFA events. This stadium - originally projected to hold only 40,000 spectators at any given time - has a capacity of 52,000 and was acoustically engineered as a venue for major concerts. Its official opening was on 6 August2003 when Sporting played and beat Manchester United 3-1. It also hosted the 2005 UEFA Cup final between Sporting and CSKA Moscow, which CSKA won 3-1.
The stadium was also one of the stadia that hosted matches during Euro 2004. There were five games played in Estádio José Alvalade, one of them being the semi-final between Portugal and The Netherlands, which Portugal won 2-1. This match won the title of Best Organised in the whole competition. It was a great game for all Portuguese football fans.
Famous for its football youth academy system which features a range of well-equipped facilities and is one of the most renowned in the world, Sporting has continuously developed many world class footballers. Some of its most notable home-bred footballers, many of them incidentally wingers, include João Moutinho and Miguel Veloso in the current squad, Paulo Futre (retired), LuÃs Figo (Inter Milan), Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani (Manchester United), as well as LuÃs Boa Morte (West Ham United). The long list of valuable players who developed their skills in the youth academy of the club, include other noted footballers such as Dani (retired) who played for Ajax Amsterdam, former FC Barcelona player Ricardo Quaresma (who joined Porto in 2004), Simão Sabrosa (Atlético de Madrid), Hugo Viana and Custódio. Sporting's youth academy was considered by Luiz Felipe Scolari (Portugal's national coach) and José Pekerman (former Argentina national coach) as one of the best sports academies in the world. It was also the home training ground for the Portuguese national football team during Euro 2004. A great number of European clubs choose the Sporting's ''Academia'' for training in the off-season.
The Academy has been renamed Sporting/Puma Academy (''Academia Sporting/Puma'') to reflect the sponsoring and naming contract signed by the club and the sports brand Puma in 2006; the contract will last until 2012.
