history
The club was founded on December 2, 1923 as the 20th branch of the Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon , in Praia, the capital of the then Portuguese colony of Cape Verde.
From 1953 uniform championships were played on Cape Verde. Up until independence in 1975, Sporting Praia was able to win the title three times, in 1961, 1969 and 1974.
After the country gained independence in 1975, the national championship of Cape Verde started in 1976 with the Campeonato Cabo-verdiano de Futebol . Each of the nine inhabited islands plays its own master, with the main island Santiago being divided into a northern and a southern league. The ten clubs then play the national champions in two groups of five teams each and a final. Sporting Praia has already won this national championship nine times, making it vice-record champion after CS Mindelense (10 titles) (as of 2014) .
