Her greatest success is winning the 2016 European Championship . In addition, the victory in the Nations League 2018/19 , a third place at the 1966 World Cup , a fourth place at the 2006 World Cup and a second place at the 2004 European Championship in their own country were the best placings.
history
1914–1928: early years
The Portuguese Football Association was founded in 1914 as União Portuguesa de Futebol . The aim was to organize national tournaments, as there were only regional championships at that time, and to create a national team to compete against other nations. Due to the First World War , the first game of the Portuguese national team took place seven years later, on December 18, 1921, against Spain at the O'Donnell Stadium in Madrid. The Spaniards won the game 3-1. It was the seventh international match for Spain. The Portuguese team consisted of players from five different teams (Internacional, Casa Pia AC , Benfica Lisbon , Sporting Lisbon , FC Porto ). With four players (António Pinho, Cândido de Oliveira, J. Maria Gralha and António Augusto Lopes) Casa Pia provided the most players. Benfica was represented with three (Vítor Gonçalves, Ribeiro dos Reis and Alberto Augusto), Sporting with two (Jorge Vieira and João Francisco) and Internacional (Carlos Guimarães) and FC Porto (Artur Augusto) with one player each. The players were nominated by a committee consisting of 11 people. You were responsible for the line-up of the first three international matches.
The match report of the first official game of the Portuguese national team: Spain 3-1 Portugal (2-0).
- Lineup of Spain: Ricardo Zamora - Pololo , Mariano Arrate , Balbino - Manuel Meana , Desiderio Fajardo - Pagaza , Eduardo Arbide , Félix Sesúmaga , Paulino Alcántara , Luis Olaso
- Lineup of Portugal: Carlos Guimarães - António Pinho , Jorge Vieira , João Francisco - Vítor Gonçalves , Cândido de Oliveira - J. Maria Gralha , António Augusto Lopes , Ribeiro dos Reis , Artur Augusto , Alberto Augusto
- Referee: M. Barette (Belgium)
- Goals: 1-0 Meana (6th), 2-0 Alcántara (10th), 3-0 Alcántara (66th), 3-1 Alberto Augusto (hand penalty)
- Spectators: 14,000
The next three international matches were played against Spain again and all of them were lost. It was only in the fifth game, in 1925, that the Portuguese were able to score their first victory with a 1-0 victory over Italy . In the sixth game, Portugal reached their first draw against Czechoslovakia . In 1928, Portugal did not go as a loser for the first time in the sixth comparison with the Spanish. In Lisbon's Estádio do Lumiar , the Lusitans won 2-2.
1928–1964: Tournament debut and missed finals
Since the Portuguese Football Association only joined FIFA in 1923 , Portugal missed the first three Olympic football tournaments . At the Olympic Games in Paris in 1924 , the national team met the future bronze medalist Sweden in the preliminary round . However, the game was canceled by Portugal, which could only compete with other nations in friendly games. Four years later, the Portuguese finally made their tournament debut at the Amsterdam Olympics . After victories against Chile and Yugoslavia , Portugal had to admit defeat to Egypt 1: 2 in the quarter-finals .
In the first edition of the World Cup in 1930, the Portuguese national team did not take part because participation in the final round was by invitation. In qualifying for the World Cup in 1934 , the Portuguese failed significantly to Spain . Four years later they met Switzerland in qualifying . After both teams had agreed on a single game on neutral ground, Portugal lost the game in Milan 2-1.
Because of the Second World War , the 1942 World Cup was canceled and the Portuguese only played seven friendlies during the war years. The lack of match practice also had an impact on the results of the national team immediately after the war: In 1947, Portugal suffered the highest defeat in the association's history to date, a 0:10 against England .
In qualifying for the 1950 World Cup in the former colony of Brazil , Portugal failed again after a return leg against Iberian neighbors Spain. Later Portugal was offered Turkey's starting place , but this was rejected. In 1954, the Portuguese association joined the newly founded UEFA in Basel . The Portuguese also missed the next two world championships. In 1954 they were outclassed by Austria in qualifying with a 9-1 defeat and a goalless draw. In qualifying for the 1958 World Cup , Portugal was drawn to Italy and Northern Ireland and failed as the bottom of the group.
The European Championship , founded by UEFA, took place for the first time in 1960. In qualifying for the finals , which was played in knockout mode, the Seleção met the GDR national team in the round of 16 . On June 21, 1959, Portugal won the first leg at the Walter Ulbricht Stadium in Berlin 2-0 through goals from Matateu and Mário Coluna . A week later, the Portuguese prevailed 3-2 in the second leg at the Estádio das Antas in Porto . Coluna scored two goals. In the quarter-finals, however, Portugal failed to later finalists Yugoslavia . Although the first leg was won 2-1, the second leg was lost 5-1, so that the final round was missed.
In qualifying for the 1962 World Cup in Chile , Portugal met England and Luxembourg . In this group of 3 only the first placed reached the final round. After a 6-0 win against Luxembourg and a 1-1 draw against England in Lisbon, the two away games were lost, leaving the Portuguese only runners-up in the group.
The 1964 European Championship in Spain was missed in the preliminary round of qualifying against Bulgaria . Both teams won the first and second leg 3-1, which is why a play-off was necessary, which the Bulgarians won 1-0 in Rome . Instead, Portugal took part in the 1964 Taça das Nações (German: Nations Cup), an invitation tournament in the league system for the 50th anniversary of the Brazilian Football Association . In addition to Portugal and Brazil , Argentina and England were invited. Portugal lost their first game against Argentina 2-0. The second game against England, which had also missed the European Championship finals, ended in a 1-1 draw with goals from Roger Hunt and Fernando Peres . The Lusitans lost their last game against hosts Brazil 1: 4. The Portuguese consolation goal came from Mário Coluna. Portugal finished third in the group together with England.
1965–1982: First World Cup participation, top scorer Eusébio and subsequent stagnation
In qualifying for the 1966 World Cup , Portugal played in Group 4 against the 1962 World Cup runner-up, Czechoslovakia , Romania and Turkey . Although Benfica Lisbon won the European Cup in 1961 and 1962 and was in the final again in 1965 , the Portuguese, trained by the Brazilian Otto Glória , were only considered outsiders. After four wins in a row, a 0-0 draw on the penultimate day of the group against Czechoslovakia was enough to qualify for the World Cup for the first time. In the finals, Portugal met Hungary, Brazil and Bulgaria in Group C. Led by captain Mário Coluna , Portugal won all three games and qualified first in the group for the quarter-finals. With the 3-1 win in the last group game against the reigning world champion Brazil, they also ensured their sensational preliminary round. Another surprise team awaited in the quarter-finals with North Korea . After a disastrous start to the game, Portugal were already 3-0 down after 25 minutes. Subsequently, however, the Portuguese offensive block managed to tie in with the courageous attacking football of the group stage and Eusébio turned the game almost single-handedly with four goals before José Augusto made the final score 5-3. In the semifinals against hosts England Portugal were mostly equal, but the English made better use of their moves and also successfully took Eusébio in the person of Nobby Stiles in man marking. The Black Panther only managed to hit the 1-2 with a penalty in the 82nd minute, which meant that Portugal missed the final. The Seleção won the game for third place 2-1 against the Soviet Union . This means that the Portuguese achieved the best World Cup placement to date at their tournament premiere. Eusébio scored his ninth goal in the tournament and was the top scorer in the World Cup .
After the successful appearance at the World Cup, 18 years should pass before the Portuguese were able to qualify for a final round again. In qualifying for the European Championship in 1968 , they met Bulgaria, Norway and Sweden and, as second in the group, narrowly missed the European Championship ticket. In qualifying for the 1970 World Cup , Portugal was drawn to Romania, Greece and Switzerland and was bottom of the group with only one win. The qualification for the European Championship 1972 was narrowly missed as group runner-up behind Belgium and ahead of Scotland and Denmark. In qualifying for the 1974 World Cup, the second group rank behind Bulgaria and before Northern Ireland and Cyprus did not qualify for participation in the finals. In qualifying for the European Championship in 1976 , Portugal did not get beyond third place in a group of four with England, Czechoslovakia and Cyprus. The 1978 World Cup was missed in qualifying as runners-up behind Poland and ahead of Denmark and Cyprus. The qualification for the European Championship 1980 played Portugal in a group of five with Belgium, Austria, Scotland and Norway and failed as a third party. And in qualifying for the 1982 World Cup , you only finished fourth in a group with Scotland, Northern Ireland, Sweden and Israel.
1983–1994: First European Championship participation, Saltillo affair and renewed stagnation
In September 1982 Otto Glória returned as national coach. In the qualification for the European Championship 1984 Portugal started promising with two wins against Finland and Poland. In April 1983, however, the Seleção conceded a 5-0 away defeat against the last group opponent, the Soviet Union. When the subsequent friendly against Brazil was lost 4-0, Glória resigned after only seven internationals and was replaced by Fernando Cabrita . Like its predecessor, Cabrita started with victories against Poland and Finland. In the decisive final group game, Portugal beat the Soviet Union 1-0 on November 13, 1983 in Lisbon with a goal from Rui Jordão . As a result, Portugal took part again after 18 years in a finals and for the first time in a European Championship. The European Championship debut was as successful as the World Cup debut: In the first group game, the Portuguese won a 0-0 draw against reigning European champions Germany. The second group game against Spain ended 1-1 with António Sousa scoring Portugal's first European Championship goal. In the last group game against Romania, Nené scored the 1-0 winner in the 81st minute, after which Portugal passed Germany and reached the semi-finals as second in the group. In the semifinals, Portugal let the superior hosts France run up and wait for the counterattack. Rui Jordão forced extra time with his goal to equalize 1-1 in the 74th minute. In this France almost permanently harassed Manuel Bento's goal , but ran into a counterattack in the 98th minute, which Rui Jordão used again to make it 2-1 for Portugal. Subsequently, Portugal could not withstand the intense attacking efforts of the French and conceded the equalizer in the 114th minute before Michel Platini sealed the 2-3 defeat a minute before the end of extra time.
After the surprisingly successful performance at the European Championship, José Torres took over the national team. In qualifying for the 1986 World Cup , Portugal won the World Cup ticket for the second time in a group of five with Germany, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Malta runners-up. The tournament itself did not have a good omen: Only a few hours before the team's planned departure for Mexico, António Veloso tested positive for the anabolic steroid Primobolan - a finding that later turned out to be incorrect - and removed from the World Cup squad. The team later threatened to boycott the World Cup ( Saltillo affair ) - angry about the way Veloso was handled, their accommodation in Saltillo , meager bonuses and after a dispute with the Portuguese Football Association about missing bonus payments . Due to public pressure from home and abroad, the players gave in early. With a goal from Carlos Manuel , Portugal even started the tournament with a 1-0 opening win against England. Afterwards, goalkeeper Manuel Bento broke a leg in training and Portugal had to return home after defeats against Poland and Morocco after the group stage.
As a consequence of the Saltillo affair, national coach Torres was sacked after the World Cup and the players involved in the boycott were banned from qualifying for the 1988 European Championship . As a result, the results deteriorated significantly and Portugal only reached third group position in a group of five with Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and Malta. The next three major tournaments were also missed: In qualifying for the 1990 World Cup , Portugal once again failed to get above third group rank in a group with Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland and Luxembourg. The qualification for the European Championship 1992 was narrowly missed in a group with the Netherlands, Greece, Finland and Malta as runners-up. And in qualifying for the 1994 World Cup , the Seleção only finished third in a group with Italy, Switzerland, Scotland, Malta and Estonia.
1995–2006: The Golden Generation
In the qualification for the European Championship in 1996 , the so-called " Golden Generation " of Portugal celebrated - a number of particularly promising talents from the years of birth between 1969 and 1974 such as Luís Figo , Rui Costa , João Pinto or Fernando Couto , who won the junior competition twice in 1989 and 1991 World Championship - under national coach António Oliveira a sovereign group victory. The Seleção's second participation in the European Championship ended despite a good group stage in which they qualified for the knockout round as group winners with a draw against Denmark and two wins against Turkey and Croatia , with a 0 in the quarter-finals : 1 defeat against the eventual finalists Czech Republic .
In qualifying for the 1998 World Cup , Portugal was coached by Artur Jorge . In a group with Germany, Ukraine, Armenia, Northern Ireland and Albania, Portugal only achieved a disappointing third place, which again missed the World Cup finals. To date, the 1998 World Cup is the last tournament for which Portugal was unable to qualify.
The qualification for the European Championship 2000 succeeded under national coach Humberto Coelho . Portugal was only second behind Romania in Group 7 , but as the best runner-up in the qualification the Seleção was spared the relegation games . Portugal played great football at the finals. The Seleção won their opening game in Group A against England, despite being 2-0 down with goals from Figo, Rui Costa and Nuno Gomes , 3-2. In the second group game against Romania, Costinha's 1-0 winning goal in stoppage time resulted in early qualification for the knockout round. Although Coelho only sent a B-Elf onto the pitch in the last group game against Germany, Portugal clearly won this game 3-0 thanks to a hat trick by Sérgio Conceição . In the quarter-finals, Portugal beat Turkey 2-0 with a brace from Nuno Gomes and moved into a European Championship semi-final for the second time since 1984. As then, the enemy was called France. Although Portugal took the lead through Nuno Gomes and created the bigger chances during the game, the game was lost 2-1 in extra time to a golden goal from Zinédine Zidane's penalty kick . Abel Xavier , Paulo Bento and Nuno Gomes were suspended for months for their behavior towards the referee after the end of the game.
After Humberto Coelho decided against extending his contract, António Oliveira became national coach for the second time in August 2000. As the winners of their World Cup qualifying group , the Portuguese secured their participation in a World Cup finals again after 16 years. Due to the good performance at the last European Championship, the Seleção was one of the secret favorites. However, Portugal only managed a convincing 4-0 victory in Group D in their second group match against Poland, to which Pauleta contributed three goals. The remaining group matches against the USA and hosts South Korea were surprisingly lost, whereupon the team was eliminated after the preliminary round and António Oliveira was dismissed.
In preparation for the 2004 European Championship in their own country, for which Portugal was automatically qualified as host, the Portuguese Football Association signed the Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari as national coach. Scolari largely stuck to the now very experienced "Golden Generation", but also integrated young talents like Cristiano Ronaldo into the team. Despite a surprising 1: 2 defeat in the opening game against Greece, the Portuguese then moved into the European Championship final for the first time after victories against Russia, Spain, England (on penalties) and the Netherlands. In the reissue of the opening game against Greece, Portugal were the clear favorites and created a significant increase in chances. However, the only goal of the game was scored by the Greeks after a set piece.
After the lost European Championship final, the aging “Golden Generation” had the last chance at a major title at the 2006 World Cup in Germany . The qualification was easy. In the group stage of the finals, Portugal reached the round of 16 against the Netherlands without losing points. In a game that was subsequently referred to as the Battle of Nuremberg due to tough fouls and a large number of yellow and red cards , a goal by Maniche was enough for a 1-0 victory. The goalless quarter-finals against England had to be decided on penalties. Ricardo was the first goalkeeper ever to keep three penalties at a World Cup and gave Portugal their second World Cup semi-final participation after 1966. In the semifinals, the Seleção met France and lost, as in the EM 2000, to a penalty converted by Zidane. In the game for third place, Portugal lost 3-1 to hosts Germany. The fourth place represents the second best World Cup ranking to date.
2007 until today: European Champion and Nations League winner
After the World Cup, Luís Figo and Pauleta, as expected, the last two great players of the “golden generation” announced their retirement from the national team and national coach Scolari was forced to initiate a change. For the European Championship 2008 Portugal - led by Nuno Gomes , Deco and Cristiano Ronaldo - qualified as second in qualifying group A behind Poland. In the final round, Portugal moved into the final round early by winning the first two group matches against Turkey and the Czech Republic . Then Scolari spared a number of regular players in the last group game, a 2-0 defeat against Switzerland . As group winners, Portugal met Germany in the quarter-finals and were eliminated after an unfortunate 3-2 defeat. Subsequently, Scolari resigned and was replaced by Carlos Queiroz .
After mixed qualifying games , Portugal secured participation in the 2010 World Cup by finishing second behind Poland and just ahead of Sweden with two 1-0 victories in the relegation games against Bosnia and Herzegovina . Despite being one of the favorites, Portugal did not get past 0-0 in their first group game against Ivory Coast . In the second group game, the underdog North Korea was outclassed 7-0. Due to the very good goal difference, the second group place was almost certain. The last group game against Brazil ended goalless again after an even and unspectacular game, which meant that both teams made it to the round of 16. Here Portugal lost 1-0 against eventual tournament winner Spain .
After Queiroz was banned for six months by the Portuguese Anti-Doping Agency in August 2010 for insulting officials during doping controls before the World Cup and Portugal had only scored one point in the first two qualifying games for the Euro 2012 against Cyprus and Norway , he replaced the Portuguese Football Association in September 2010 through Paulo Bento . Second in the group behind Denmark , the Seleção again beat Bosnia and Herzegovina in the relegation games . At the finals, Portugal came out a bit surprisingly in the “death group” around Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark. A brace from Cristiano Ronaldo to the 2-1 win in the last group game against Elftal secured the quarter-finals . Again, it was Ronaldo who made the difference with a header in the 1-0 win against the Czech Republic. In the semifinals against the reigning world and European champions Spain, the Seleção lost on penalties.
In order to reach the final round of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Portugal had to take the detour via the relegation games for the third time in a row, as second in qualifying group F behind Russia . Two narrow wins against Sweden , which Portugal owed the goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, finally ensured participation. However, the tournament ended disappointingly. With a battered Ronaldo, Portugal suffered a 4-0 defeat in the opening game against Germany. Subsequently, a 2-2 draw against the USA and a 2-1 win against Ghana were not enough for a place in the round of 16 because of the bad goal difference.
A home defeat against Albania in the opening match of the qualifying for the European Championship 2016 led to the dismissal of Paulo Bento. All other qualifying games were won under the new national coach Fernando Santos , whereupon Portugal, first in the group since 2008, qualified for a major tournament directly and without detour via relegation. The European Championship finals got off to a sobering start: As the favorite of Group F , Portugal only drew 1-1 in the first group match against the tournament debutants from Iceland, despite great playful superiority and Nani’s leading goal. The second group game against Austria ended goalless despite another large number of clear chances. In the last group game against Hungary , Portugal was therefore under great pressure to succeed, but fell behind three times. A goal by Nani and a brace by Cristiano Ronaldo led to the third straight draw. Although only third in the group, the Seleção qualified for the final round thanks to the new tournament mode . In the knockout games, Santos relied on a less spectacular and much criticized defensive tactic , which turned out to be successful: Portugal won the round of 16 against Croatia with a counter goal by Ricardo Quaresma 1-0 after extra time, the quarter-finals against Poland 5-3 on penalties. The Portuguese faced Wales in the semi-finals and, following goals from Ronaldo and Nani, they reached the final for the second time since 2004 with a 2-0 win. There Portugal beat hosts France 1-0 after extra time with a goal from Éder on July 10, 2016 and won their first major international title.
As a result of the European Championship win, Portugal took part in the FIFA Confederations Cup for the first time in 2017 and qualified first in Group A for the final round with a draw against Mexico and wins against Russia and New Zealand . After losing in the semi-finals to South American champions Chile (0-3 on penalties), Portugal ended the tournament with a subsequent 2-1 win after extra time against Mexico in third place.
In the qualification for the World Cup 2018 Portugal started with a defeat against Switzerland . Then the Portuguese secured victory in the group without losing any further points and thus qualified for the finals in Russia . Portugal was drawn into group B and, with one win against Morocco and two draws against Spain and Iran, reached the second round, level on points with their Iberian neighbors, as group runners-up. There the Portuguese were eliminated after a 2-1 defeat against Uruguay .
In autumn 2018, the Portuguese took part in the first edition of the UEFA Nations League in the top division ( League A ) and qualified for the final round (“Final Four”) in June 2019 in two games each against Poland and Italy Seleção won their second international title on home soil after beating Switzerland 3-1 in the semi-finals and beating the Netherlands 1-0 in the final.
Balance sheets
FIFA World Ranking
When the FIFA world rankings were introduced in August 1993, Portugal was ranked 23rd. By February 1994, Portugal improved to 19th place and in August 1995, thanks to a solid qualification for the 1996 European Championship , the country reached 9th place and thus the top for the first time 10 of the world rankings. A month later, however, Portugal fell back to 24th place, but held a place in the top 20 until May 1997. From June 1997 to December 1998, the country achieved the worst placements. After the missed qualification for the 1998 World Cup , the low point was reached in August 1998 with the 43rd place. In January 1999 Portugal reached the top 20 again in 17th place and by the start of the European Championship in 2000 the country improved to 15th place. After a strong European Championship and participation in the semi-finals, the Portuguese reached the top 10 of the ranking again in July 2000 after 5 years of abstinence. In the following two years Portugal was consistently represented in the top ten. This changed after the group exited at the 2002 World Cup . In September 2002 they dropped to 11th place and by June 2004 to 22nd place. This was also due to the fact that Portugal did not have to play any qualifying matches in their own country before the 2004 European Championship and friendlies were given less weight. Thanks to the Vice European Championship, Portugal improved by 10 places to 12th place in July 2004 and in October of the same year they reached the top 10 again with 8th place. In the next five years, Portugal wavered after a fourth place at the 2006 World Cup and the quarter-finals the EM 2008 , between 6th and 11th place. From July to September 2009 the country was 17th. Since October 2009 Portugal has been in the top 10. October 2012, April 2014 and from September 2017 to January 2018.

In 1924 Portugal should meet Sweden , the later bronze medalist, in the preliminary round , but Portugal canceled the game. Four years later, Portugal took part in the Olympic football tournament for the only time. In Amsterdam , the Portuguese met Chile in the preliminary round . The game, which Portugal won 4-2, was the first between the two nations and Chile's first game against a European team. In the last sixteen Portugal met the Kingdom of Yugoslavia . The first meeting of the two teams was won by Portugal 2-1. In the quarter-finals, the opponent was Egypt . This game was also a premier game between the two nations, in which Portugal lost 2-1.

After that, Portugal missed the next four world championships and only reached the finals for the second time 20 years later at the 1986 World Cup . Portugal missed the 1990 , 1994 and 1998 World Championships again and only reached the group stage again in 2002 .

Organizational matters
shirt
The jersey of the Portuguese national football team is in the color wine red. The red and green that was relevant for the 2004 European Championship, for example, has not been used since the 2006 World Cup; now a dark red jersey is used. Yellow piping that runs along the breast seams and trouser legs is reminiscent of a rope , a ship's rope , and thus of Portugal's great past as a seafaring nation. Portugal's away shirt is traditionally white. At the 2006 World Cup, however, the team played in black.
Venues
The Seleção's home games are mainly played in the following stadiums: The Estádio do Dragão from FC Porto , the Estádio da Luz from Benfica Lisbon and the Estádio José Alvalade from Sporting Lisbon , which are also the largest stadiums in Portugal.
