The Sporting Clube de Luanda , usually just called Sporting de Luanda , is a sports club from the Angolan capital Luanda .
The Estádio Nacional dos Coqueiros was the home stadium of his first football team, until professional football was abandoned after independence in 1975.
history
The club was founded on August 15, 1920 in Luanda as Loanda Sporting Club . In 1922 it changed its name to its current name and was added to the register of the Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon on September 1, 1922 as branch club No. 3 .
The first official basketball game in Angola was hosted by Sporting de Luanda on the occasion of the club's 10th anniversary. On May 18, 1930 Sporting won 8: 5 against the Associação Académica do Liceu Central Salvador Correia and officially introduced the sport of basketball in Angola.
But it was mainly through football that the club became popular in what was then the Portuguese colony of Angola. The club's best-known player to this day was Fernando Peyroteo in the 1930s , who moved to Portugal to Sporting Lisbon in 1937 and, as part of the cinco violinos player quintet, played a key role in shaping its success story. With 331 championship goals to date, he is the top scorer in the Portuguese Primeira Liga .
In 1941 Sporting Luanda became champions in the first uniform championship in Angola, later Girabola . The club have been champions of Angola a total of eight times.
In the socio-political turmoil after Angola's independence in 1975 and the outbreak of civil war in Angola , Sporting Luanda then ran into existential difficulties. Temporary name changes followed (first in Diabos Verdes , then in Leões de Luanda ) and brief dissolution of the club, and the most important athletes left the club. In the following years he had to give up some of his most important sports, in particular soccer, but also volleyball, roller hockey and hockey.
The club never regained its previous position in Angolan sport. Today he only maintains teams in handball, martial arts, and basketball, where he has some success, especially in the youth field. For example, five players on Angola's youth national team came from Sporting Luanda at the African basketball championship in Kenya in 1993 , and in 2013 the club became Angola's youth champions.
