Founding
In 1911, a group of friends (João da Silva Almeida, Aníbel Jacinto and Antenor) decided to fund a football club after watching a game that opposed F.C. Porto and S.L. Benfica at the Campo da Rainha. The friends would gather after work and dinner at lamp 1047 between the Constituição and Particular de Salgueiros streets to debate ideas and build their new club. Thus was formed Sport Grupo e Salgueiros.The club had no money at the time, so the three founders decided to gather money by singing Christmas songs from door to door during the 1911 Christmas season. They collected a total of 2800 reis, which was enough to purchase their first football. They decided their jerseys should be red like Benfica's as a way to separate themselves from city rivals F.C. Porto.
Their first pitch would be at the Arca D'Água, and the team's first matches were against Sport Progresso, Carvalhido Football Club, and others.
Merging
In 1916/1917 the team name was changed to Sport Porto e Salgueiros as a matter of local pride. However, in 1920, after a profound economical crisis, Sport Porto e Salgueiros decided to join forces with another local club named Sport Comércio. This resulted in the name change of Sport Comércio e Salgueiros. The club would play in the first division for several years.Recent crisis and decline
The senior football team, facing perhaps its biggest economical crisis since its foundation, was administratively relegated from the second national division (liga de honra) to the second national division B North (segunda divisão B, zona Norte) in the season 2004/05. Due to the financial crisis, all the players in the 2004/05 season were non-professional, mostly upgraded players from the junior team.The club had also recently lost its emblematic stadium, (Estádio Engenheiro Vidal Pinheiro

Comeback
Salgueiros made its comeback to senior football as Sport Clube Salgueiros 08 for the 2008/09 season. However the youth teams remained using the Sport Comércio e Salgueiros name. The name of the club was changed because Sport Comércio e Salgueiros is prevented from registering professional players due to financial debts.
