Clube de Futebol Os Belenenses, usually known simply as Belenenses (pron. ), founded in 1919, is one of the Portuguese sports clubs. It is based in the Belém quarter of Lisbon, hence the club name, which translates as "The ones from Belém".
History
The main activities of the club are football, handball, basketball, futsal, athletics, and rugby union. 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 S.L. Benfica).
When the Portuguese Liga started Beleneneses was one of Portugal's "Big four". The year after, the club lost its fame and glory and sank straight down the ranking.
It was the first club to compete in the UEFA Cup in a back-and-forth 3-3 draw with Hibernian (at the time one of Scotland's biggest teams) at the Estádio do Restelo in Belém.
Like many Portuguese clubs, fan clubs can be found in Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Belgium, Canada, and the United States of America.
In 1933 the club was the most successful in Portugal with the most titles and Cups.
The 2005/2006 season saw the football team finishing fourth from bottom, which would mean relegation for the team. However, the team won a subsequent appeal that sent Gil Vicente F.C. down instead. With this reprieve, the team played in the top level of Portuguese football again, for the 69th of 73 seasons - the team with most presences at top level after the "Big three". This reprieve allowed them to finish fifth in the league, giving them access to the UEFA Cup.
In the Portuguese Cup 2007 fans from Switzerland, Canada, United States, and several Portuguese cities were at the Estádio Nacional in Lisbon to see the final against Sporting CP, one of the "Big Three" where they lost 1-0.
Cabral Ferreira, who served as president of C.F. Os Belenenses from 2005 until 2008, died on 26 February 2008, of a long illness.
The club has also played in the European Cup Winners' Cup as well as the UEFA Cup. In the UEFA Cup 1987-88 season the club played powerhouse FC Barcelona; in the first leg they lost 2-0 in the Camp Nou, winning 1-0 in Lisbon at the Estádio do Restelo with Bulgarian international Stoycho Mladenov scoring. In the following season they ousted holders Bayer 04 Leverkusen out of the same competition.
