The Primeira Liga ( Portuguese for First League ) is the top division in Portuguese men's football . It has existed since the 1934/35 season and is operated by the Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional (LPFP) and the Federação Portuguesa de Futebol (FPF). Since 2014, the league has officially been sponsored by the Liga NOS .
In the Primeira Liga , the Portuguese football champions and the participants in the European Cup competitions are played in the league system in which each club competes against every other club in a return match . The last two teams are relegated to the Segunda Liga , which has been the second highest division below the Primeira Liga since the 1990/91 season.
The most successful club is Benfica Lisbon with 37 championships.
Mode and Orientation
Competition mode
A season is divided into a round-trip round, in which all 18 clubs in the Primeira Liga face each other twice on the basis of a game plan set before the season ; once in their own stadium and once in the opponent's stadium. A season currently has 34 game days and usually extends from mid-August to late May or early June. In years in which a World or European Championship takes place, the season sometimes ends in April. The individual game days extend from Friday to Monday and in rare cases also with a game on Tuesday. The dates for the matches are set according to the FIFA and UEFA calendar .
The team that took first place after this double round of points is the “ Portuguese Football Champion ”. The two last-placed teams have to be relegated to the Segunda Liga , the two top-ranked teams in turn go straight to the Primeira Liga.
In addition to the champions and the relegated teams, the participants in the European club competitions are also determined via the Primeira Liga. The determined UEFA five-year ranking which national federation with as many clubs in the Champions League and once in Europe Champions Cup and the UEFA Europa League and earlier in the UEFA Cup , UEFA Intertoto Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup is represented and which phase the clubs enter the competitions. The higher a league is in the UEFA five-year ranking, the more clubs from this division have the opportunity to take part in international competition. Due to the current Portuguese placement in the five-year ranking, the first place in the Primeira Liga will take part in the Champions League. Second place entitles them to participate in the qualifying round for the Champions League. The championship third and fourth are qualified for the Europa League as well as the winner of the Taça de Portugal . If the winner of the Taça de Portugal has already qualified for the Champions League or the Europa League via the Primeira Liga, the fifth-placed participant in the Europa League. In addition, other teams can qualify via the fair play rating.
After each game, the winning team receives 3 points (since 1995, previously 2 points) and the defeated team receives 0 points; in the event of a tie, each team receives 1 point. The points achieved in a season are added up and thus result in a current ranking of the clubs for each game day.
In the event of a tie, the following order decides which team will reach the higher position:
- the number of points achieved in a direct comparison between the teams concerned
- the goal difference between the teams involved in direct comparison
- the higher number of goals scored away from home
- the total goal difference in competition
- the higher number of wins in the competition
- the higher number of goals scored
- in the case of two teams: a play-off on neutral ground, with a possible extra time of 30 minutes and a penalty shoot-out .
- with three or more teams: All teams play against each other once on neutral ground. If there is still a tie between several teams, point 7 comes into force again with one or more play-offs in knockout mode.
Organizer (FPF / LPFP)
Until 2000, the Primeira Liga was held directly under the umbrella of the Federação Portuguesa de Futebol (FPF). Since then, the FPF and the Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional (LPFP), founded as an amalgamation of the 32 licensed clubs of the 1st and 2nd Portuguese leagues, have been joint organizers.
history
A national championship has been played in Portugal since 1921. The knockout competition was called Campeonato de Portugal ( Portuguese for championship of Portugal ) and was held until 1938. The winner of the competition was called Campeão de Portugal ( Portuguese for Masters of Portugal ). On the official website, the Portuguese Football Association ( Federação Portuguesa de Futebol ) lists the winners of this competition as cup winners.
The trial seasons (1934–1938)
season | Campeonato da Liga | |
---|---|---|
1934/35 | FC Porto | |
1935/36 | Benfica Lisbon | |
1936/37 | Benfica Lisbon | |
1937/38 | Benfica Lisbon |
The official start of the first division in 1938/39 was preceded by four trial seasons. The winners in these four years of the Campeonato da Liga ( Portuguese for championship of the league ) were named Campeão da Liga ( Portuguese for champions of the league ).
To participate in the Primeira Liga and the Segunda Divisão , the clubs had to qualify through regional tournaments. There was no promotion or relegation for the time being. It was not until the 1947/48 season that a team rose for the first time.
The 8 founding members of the Campeonato da Liga were:
- Académica Coimbra
- Académico FC
- Belenenses Lisbon
- Benfica Lisbon
- FC Porto
- Sporting Lisbon
- União Lisbon
- Vitória Setúbal
In the first season, FC Porto became the first league champions. The next season , in which Boavista Porto and Carcavelinhos FC from Lisbon took part for the first time , Benfica Lisbon won, ahead of last year's champions FC Porto. Benfica also won the next two seasons, although Sporting Lisbon had the best goalscorer in their own ranks with Manuel Soeiro (24 goals) and Fernando Peyroteo (34 goals).
The early years (1938–1947)
The Primeira Divisão 1938/39 was the first official season and now officially determined the Portuguese champions . The Campeonato de Portugal , which previously awarded the championship title, has been discontinued. In contrast, the Taça de Portugal ( Portuguese for Cup of Portugal ) was founded. Eight teams took part in the first season, four of them from the capital Lisbon ( Benfica , Belenenses , Casa Pia AC and Sporting ). Nevertheless, FC Porto became champions with one point ahead of Sporting Lisbon. Although the Second World War began in Europe , league operations continued undisturbed due to Portugal's neutrality . Ten teams took part in the following season , with Porto defending the title. After three runners-up championships, Sporting Lisbon won their first championship in the 1940/41 season , when again only eight teams took part. In the same season, Sporting also won the trophy for the first time, creating the first double in Portuguese football. In the following seasons, the number of participants increased and decreased again and again. In the 1945/46 season , Belenenses Lisbon was then champion for the only time so far under coach Augusto Silva . Augusto Silva was the first Portuguese coach to win the championship, before all championships were won by Hungarian coaches.
Since 2005
Until the 2005/06 season the professional league consisted of 18 clubs, which is why the last four, Belenenses Lisbon , Rio Ave FC , Vitória Guimarães and FC Penafiel , were relegated and only two clubs, SC Beira Mar and Desportivo Aves , were promoted this season . Due to the downsizing of the league, there are fewer match days in one season, which is of particular benefit to the teams in European competitions. The Portuguese association hopes that this will result in an overall sporting improvement in the league.
For the 2014/15 season, the league was again enlarged to 18 clubs. The reason for this was, among other things, that Boavista Porto had successfully appealed against the forced relegation in 2008 and was awarded a place in the Primeira Liga again. Regular relegated was the bottom of the table SC Olhanense , regular promoted (in addition to Boavista, who played in the 3rd division, which was divided into 8 seasons) were Moreirense FC and FC Penafiel. The table penultimate, FC Pacos de Ferreira , managed to stay in relegation games against third-placed in the Segunda Liga, Desportivo Aves.
In Europe
In European competitions, the country's teams regularly play at the top, which is also reflected in the UEFA five-year ranking: FC Porto won the UEFA Champions League in 1987 and 2004, and the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League in 2003 and 2011 . The victories of the two major clubs from Lisbon are a little longer ago: Benfica Lisbon , the Portuguese record champions, won the European Cup in 1961 and 1962 and Sporting Lisbon in 1964 the European Cup Winners' Cup . In the 2010/11 season, three teams ( Benfica Lisbon , FC Porto and Sporting Braga ) made it to the Europa League semi-finals for the first time . In the all-Portuguese semi-finals, Braga prevailed against Benfica. FC Porto eliminated FC Villarreal in the second semi-final . This made Portugal the fifth nation, after Germany , England , Italy and Spain , to put two teams in a European final. In the final, FC Porto beat Sporting Braga 1-0.
Surname
The name of the league has changed a few times over time. The trial seasons ran under the name of Campeonato de Liga . From the 1938/39 season , the start of the official championship, the league was called Primeira Divisão . The name was used until 1999, before the Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional (LPFP) took over the organization and the championship was renamed Primeira Liga .
The name of the championship has been marketed since the 2002/03 season. The first sponsor of the league was the joint stock company Galp Energia , with which the championship was officially called SuperLiga Galp Energia . At the beginning of the 2005/06 season , the Austrian provider of sports betting and online games bwin secured the naming rights for the next three seasons. In the 2005/06 season the competition was called Liga betandwin.com , while the name bwin Liga was used in the following two seasons . From 2008 the league was called Liga Sagres after the Portuguese beer brand Sagres had secured the naming rights. In 2010 the contract with Sagres was extended, but at the same time one was concluded with the Portuguese media company ZON Multimédia , so that the name expanded to Liga ZON Sagres . Since 2014, after Sagres left, the league has only been called Liga NOS , as ZON was renamed NOS.
Clubs of the Primeira Liga
Championships by clubs
The first place in the Primeira Liga at the end of the season is Portuguese football champions . He is then allowed to wear the Escudo Português on his jersey as the reigning champion for one season . To be able to wear a championship star, a team must win ten championships. So far, only Benfica Lisbon has the stars above the club's coat of arms. The FC Porto and Sporting Lisbon forego previously it.
In the 83 seasons so far, only five different clubs (Benfica Lisbon, FC Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Belenenses Lisbon and Boavista Porto ) from the two largest cities ( Lisbon and Porto ) have become champions in Portugal. Of these, the three big ones (Benfica, FC Porto and Sporting), apart from two championships ( 1945/46 and 2000/01 ), divided the titles among themselves, which illustrates the two-tier society within the league. The most successful club is Benfica Lisbon with 37 championships won, which also leads the all-time table of the Primeira Liga.
Benfica Lisbon were also the first team to defend the title in the 1935/36 season and the first team to achieve a tri-campeonato (three consecutive titles). Overall, Benfica made it six times (1936–1938, 1963–1965, 1967–1969, 1971–1973, 1975–1977, 2014–2016). Sporting also won a Tri-Campeonato (1947-1949). In addition, Sporting was the first team to achieve the Tetra-Campeonato (four championships in a row) (1951-1954). At the end of the 20th century, FC Porto was the only team to reach the Penta-Campeonato (five championships in a row), namely from 1995 to 1999. In the 2009/10 season , FC Porto missed the opportunity to repeat this, which is why it "only" "stayed with Tetra-Campeonato . In the 2016/2017 season, Benfica became champions for the fourth time in a row, making them the last of the three big clubs to achieve their first Tetra-Campeonato .
