The Associação Atlética Portuguesa , usually called Portuguesa Santista , is a football club founded in 1917 from Santos , a city on the coast of the Brazilian state of São Paulo . The club's nickname is briosa, which roughly means noble and courageous. The club colors are the colors of Portugal, green and red. After the world-famous FC Santos , the Portuguesa is number two in the port city before the Jabaquara AC, founded in 1914 as Hespanha . The most famous player in the club's history is the world star Neymar, who developed his talent here between 1999 and 2003 in his youth.
history
The first successes were victories in the city championship of Santos, the Campeonato Citadino de Santos , in 1923 and 1924. By the early 1960s, a total of eleven tournament victories were achieved here.
Since it was founded, the club has played 51 seasons - 1929, 1935–1953, 1956–1961, 1965–1978 and 1997–2006 - in the first division of the state of São Paulo and came third four times - 1936–1938 and 2003. Since the last relegation, things have continued to decline, but since 2017 the club has been playing third-rate again.
At the national level, the Portuguesa played 1997, 2000 and 2003-2005, a total of five times in the Série C , the third highest and then lowest national performance level. In 2004 the club also took part in the Copa do Brasil , the national cup competition, in which they did not get over the first round.
On a tour to South Africa in 1959, the Portuguesa achieved 15 wins in 15 games and was thus awarded the Fita Azul , the "Blue Ribbon" that was awarded from the 1950s to the end of the 1970s for game trips abroad that were survived without defeat .
