history
The club was founded on May 28, 1938 as an offshoot of the Portuguese club Benfica Lisbon . The official registration took place on July 16 with the publication in the Boletim Oficial da Colónia de Timor, nº 28 - 2º Suplemento. The first clubhouse was built on Avenida Bispo Medeiros . Initially, the club was called Sport Lisboa e Dilly , but the members wanted a clear connection to the Portuguese club, so that the addition "Benfica" soon appeared in brackets in the name. At the end of 1955, documents were finally found that name the association “Sport Díli e Benfica”. The seat was meanwhile in the Rua Formosa.
The association was accessible to everyone, regardless of ethnic origin. In addition to soccer, basketball, volleyball and tennis were played. In 1960 he was given the status of "public service" in recognition of the association's services. At the end of July 1964, on the way back from a party on the Fazenda Algarve, there was a traffic accident in which two members of the football team were killed. With the invasion of Indonesia in 1975, the association had to cease operations.
In 1980 some old club members reactivated the boxing club, the members of which soon competed in both Indonesian and international competitions. With the crisis in East Timor in 1999 , operations were stopped again until 2001.
On May 9, 2010, the association itself was revived with a general assembly. Among the participants was the old member, former soccer player and later politician Mário Viegas Carrascalão . Other well-known old members present were Óscar Marques, João Soares and João Mendes Gonçalves . A new statute was drawn up and finally passed at the general meeting on June 6, in addition to the election of the association's bodies.
