Vitoria Guimaraes History
|
Vitória Sport Clube is a Portuguese
football club based in the city of Guimarães, located 40 km
north of Oporto. It is reported to be established in 1922.
Although Vitória de Guimarães (the club abbreviation used in
Portugal) never managed to win the championship or even the
Portuguese cup, it is one of the most respected clubs in
Portugal, playing in the last decades always at the top division,
most of the times seeking for the places that grant access to
the UEFA competitions. Clubs such as Parma AC, Atletico Madrid
and Sparta Prague were eliminated from european competitions in
ties with Guimarães. In the last two years, Vitória struggled to
keep itself at the Portuguese top division (Superliga). Those
years were marked by the decline of the leadership of Pimenta
Machado, former president of the club. Pimenta Machado is
currently being judged on processes related to embezzlement.
Afonso Henriques StadiumIn 2004, a new leadership began with
Vítor Magalhães (former President of Moreirense). Vitória Sport
Clube plays at D. Afonso Henriques Stadium, host of the Euro
2004. Some of the players currently playing there are: Dragoner,
Luis Mário and Palatsi.
Best classification achieved: 3rd place
