history

The Portuguese championship ended Boavista as runner-up, which they took part in the 2002/03 UEFA Cup and achieved there with the semi-finals, the greatest success at international level.

On May 9, 2008, the club was forced to relegate to the 2nd division and a fine of 180,000 euros due to the influence of referees from the 2003/04 season . In the following second division season followed with the 15th place relegation to the third division, in which Boavista played in the following five years.

After a successful lawsuit, the Portuguese League Association (LPFP) determined the illegality of the forced relegation in 2013 and decided Boavista's return to the Primeira Liga for the 2014/15 season . The club finished the first division return with 13th place.
