'''Katihar''' is a city and a [[municipality]] in [[Katihar district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Bihar]]. It is the administrative headquarters of Katihar district.


'''Clube de Futebol Os Belenenses''', usually known simply as '''Belenenses''' ([[Pronunciation|pron.]] {{IPA2|bɨlɨ'nẽsɨʃ}}), founded in 1919, is one of the leading [[Portugal|Portuguese]] [[sports clubs]]. It is based in the [[Belém, Lisbon|Belém]] quarter of [[Lisbon]], hence the club name, which translates as "The ones from Belém".
==Geography==
Katihar is located at {{coord|25.53|N|87.58|E|}}.<ref>[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/34/Katihar.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Katihar]</ref> It has an average elevation of 20&nbsp;[[metre]]s (65&nbsp;[[foot (unit of length)|feet]]).
The main rivers of the District are mighty [[Ganga]] (southern boundary, 25 kilometers from Katihar Town), magnificent Kosi (western boundary, 30 kilometers from Katihar Town) and beautiful Mahananda besides many other small rivers like Kari Kosi (flowing by the side of Katihar town), Kamla etc. The Kosi (Sorrow of Bihar) merges with Ganga at the south-west boundary of Katihar District. This District shares boundary with two states i.e. [[Jharkhand]] at the southern side and [[West Bengal]] at the eastern side. The [[Bangla Desh]] lies around 80 km east of Katihar town and [[Nepal]] lies around 100 km north of Katihar Town. There is rail connectivity to both the borders from Katihar railway station. The hills of Jharkhand near the southern bank of Ganga is even visible from Katihar Town on a clear day.
Its proximity to the Himalayas in the north, Jharkhand plateau in the south and a multiple of rivers combined with good rainfall gives it a distinct climate which can be termed more or less pleasant during most of the year. The rainy season flood is an annual feature.


The main activities of the club are [[football (soccer)|football]], [[handball]], [[basketball]], [[futsal]], [[Athletics (track and field)|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 (Portugal)|Big Three]]: ([[FC Porto]], [[Sporting CP]] and [[SL Benfica]]).


When the [[Portuguese Liga]] started Beleneneses was one of [[Portugal]]'s "Big four". It was the first club to compete in the [[UEFA Cup]] in an exciting 3-3 draw with [[Hibernian]] (at the time one of [[Scotland]]'s biggest teams) at the [[Estádio do Restelo]] in [[Belem]].
==Demography==
[[As of 2001]] India [[census]]<ref>{{GR|India}}</ref>, Katihar had a population of 175,169. Males constitute 53% of the population and females 47%. Katihar has an average literacy rate of 63%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; male literacy is 70%, and female literacy is 55%. In Katihar, 16% of the population is under 6 years of age.
==History==
The history of Katihar is as old as that of India. The area finds its place in the [[Mahabharata]] legend. It is said that during the period of Agyat vaas Pandavas spent its time in this area. It is also said that Lord Krishna has visited the area during Mahabharata period and had lost a [[mani]] at present Manihari (earlier Maniharan). Raja Birat of Morang also visited the place. The district has been under rule of [[Anga]], and Magadha kings during the time of Mahajanpadas. The area was ruled by the kings of Pal dynasties. With the advent of Muslim rule in the North India Ikhtiyar-ud-din Bakhtiyr Khilazi subjugated this area and subsequently this area remaimed under indirect [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] rule. With the strengthening of British rule Katihar came under the cluthches of [[Maharaja|Maharaza]]s, [[Zamindar]]s and [[Nawab]]s who were British Indian Agents. Till the trifurcation of Bihar, Bengal and Orissa; Katihar remained part of Bengal province and subsequently became part of Bihar Suba. With the passage of time British rule was challenged in India and Katihar was in the forefront of the agitation. With the independence of India the people of Katihar breathed free along with all the Indians. Katihar remained a subdivisional town of Purnea District for long time till it was created as an indepenedent District.


Like many [[Portugal|Portuguese]] clubs, fanclubs can be found in [[Portugal]], [[Brazil]], [[Cape Verde]], [[Belgium]] and [[Canada]].
==Culture and civilization==
The area was tossed between kings, Nawabs, zamindars from time to time and each rule has its impact on the district of Katihar. The town has got a cosmopolitan look. It was the main center of jute industry in Bihar which attracted workers from Mithilanchal area of Bihar, Purvanchal area of UP, Magadh region of Bihar and Bhojpuri speaking belt of Bihar and people from Nepal. The people from different region flocked to this town in search of job in jute factory, match factory and flour mills. Besides the original inhabitant of Kosi-Mahananda-Ganga Region the town witnessed an influx of permanent settlers from different region of Bihar and UP. Its proximity to Jharkhand brought many adivasis close to the town.


The partition of India had its own impact on the set up of town. Many rich Muslims either migrated to West Pakistan or East Pakistan (now Bangla Desh). But majority of Muslims chose to remain where they were. Many Hindus who came durting partition chose to settle at Katihar. The migration of Hindus continued till formation of Bangla Desh. Government of India provided them with piece of land to settle now known as Ek(1) number and Do(2) number colonies. Many Bengali Hindus settled in the town wherever they found a place. These people who were once referred as refugees in their own land because of partition has contributed significantly to the culture of Katihar.


In 1933 the club was the most successful in [[Portugal]] with the most titles and Cups.
Government of India built a colony for them near Purana Jute Mill, known as Burma Colony Tingachhia. But all the refugees could not be accommodated in the colony and many settled here and there.


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]].
Guru Teg Bahadur the ninth Guru of Sikh, while returning from Assam passed through district and many local population embraced Sikhism. The famous village is Laksmipur near Karha Gola. There is a Gurudwara in the town also and there is a sizeable population of Sikhs in the town.


In the [[Portuguese Cup|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]], where they lost 1-0.
There is a sizeable population of Marwari and Sindhi community who are the driving force behind the economy of Katihar. Like whole of the East and North-East India they control the trading activity in Katihar. In fact in remote villages of this District one may find a Marwari doing business.


[[Cabral Ferreira]], who served as president of C.F. Os Belenenses from 2005 until 2008, died on 26 February 2008, of a long illness.<ref name=jn> {{cite news |first=|last=|title=Passings: Morreu Cabral Ferreira
The District itself was once the part of undivided Bengal Province and there are many original Bengali inhabitants in the villages and town. In fact there is a school Ram Krishna Mission School in the town affiliated to the West Bengal Education Board.

== League and cup history ==
==Economy==
{|class="wikitable"
The major source of living is agriculture. There are few industries in the town:-- Two jute mills and two flour mill are worth mentioning. The jute mills known as Purana Mill and Naya Mill once shaped the characteristics of town. Of late there has been lock outs, re-opening of the mills but the jute industry is in bad shape. There are units which are producing agricultural equipments in tingachhiya. The rice industry is a flourishing business in the Katihar town. The industry here is mainly agro based. One of the agro-based industry to join the group is Makhana. The Makhana Phodi (the place where edible makhana is produced from raw makhana) is growing fast. The cloth market here dealing in cotton and sarees is very vibrant and caters to nearby districts and the bordering countries of Nepal and Bangladesh. There are also a couple of old cycle trading companies with huge turnover. Pharmaceuticals business is also pretty good with huge turnover.

The main crops are paddy, jute, makhana, banana, wheat and pulses. The agriculture is the mainstay of District but due to frequent floods, no proper irrigation facility and poor or no electric supply has hampered the rural area dependent upon agriculture. There is large scale migration of poor people to the various cities of India in search of job.

Clube de Futebol Os Belenenses, usually known simply as Belenenses (pron. IPA: [bɨlɨ'nẽsɨʃ]), founded in 1919, is one of the leading Portuguese sports clubs. It is based in the Belém quarter of Lisbon, hence the club name, which translates as "The ones from Belém".

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 SL Benfica).

When the Portuguese Liga started Beleneneses was one of Portugal's "Big four". It was the first club to compete in the UEFA Cup in an exciting 3-3 draw with Hibernian (at the time one of Scotland's biggest teams) at the Estádio do Restelo in Belem.

Like many Portuguese clubs, fanclubs can be found in Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Belgium and Canada.


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, 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.[1]

The club has also played in the European 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.

The club's anthem

Ilustrando o nosso emblema
Consagrado e popular
Vê-se a cruz que foi um tema
nas conquistas de além mar
Hoje, como antigamente
Nada temos que temer
Belenenses para a frente!
Com a certeza de vencer
