The team eventually finished a respectable third.

One shining example of this is the 2001 Portuguese title, where the team finished first in goals conceded, with one of the best attacks. This style was mainly the brainchild of coach Jaime Pacheco

Later years and major difficulties

2003 marked the latest appearance on the spotlight by the club. The construction of the Estádio do Bessa XXI left a deep hole on the club's finances, and the inability to hire quality players, together with internal turmoil contributed to the fall of the club. Today, after three consecutive failures to achieve European competition, Boavista is living through a deep crisis. Talisman coach Jaime Pacheco returned for a third stint as Boavista manager, but the club did not manage to leave the second half of the table. Also, a financial crisis prompted the club to a "back-to-basics" attitude, betting on younger players and resurrecting the club's youth academy, in a club that launched the careers of well-known players as Joăo Vieira Pinto

E no estádio a multidăo, (In the stadium the crowd)

Quando ele entra na pista, (when it enters the pitch)

Rompe nesta saudaçăo: (bursts this salute)

Luta sempre com vigor, (always fighting hard)

É brioso e é leal; (punchy and loyal)

No prélio pőe todo o ardor (leaving its skin in the fight)

De princípio até final; (from start to end)

No seu vibrar sempre amigo, (always with friendly energy)

No seu porte sem igual, (with unmatched allure)

Ama o estandarte querido, (loves its beloved banner)

Prestígio de Portugal! (Portugal's prestige)

Vamos em frente (Straight ahead)

Pela bandeira (for the banner)

Vę-la fulgente (to watch it sparkle)

E altaneira, (and proud)

Ser desportista (To be a sportsman)

Puro ideal, (the ideal pure)

P'lo Boavista! ... (FOR BOAVISTA!!!)

Arraial, arraial, arraial!
