history

In Guinea-Bissau, a national champion has been played in what was then the Portuguese colony of Guinea-Bissau at least since 1960 , but no fixed cup competition.

After the country's unilaterally declared independence in 1973, the national football association of Guinea-Bissau, the Federação de Futebol da Guiné-Bissau , was founded in 1974 . In 1975 she organized the new national championship, the Campeonato Nacional da Guiné-Bissau, for the first time . In 1976, the association set up the state cup, and in 1977 the first game was played.

Various political and financial crises in Guinea-Bissau occasionally led to the interruption or failure of football operations in the country, and thus to individual cup competitions that were not held, for example in the years after the civil war in 1998 .
