history
The association was re-established on May 1, 1971 in what was then the capital, the Portuguese colony of Portuguese Guinea, but had existed since the 1940s. It was one of the most important clubs in the capital until the 1960s. At its headquarters in Avenida da República (today Avenida Amílcar Cabral ), the association had a cinema, a dance hall and an arcade. The later independence fighter and President "Nino" Vieira played here as the right winger with the shirt number 11.
The club achieved its greatest title after Guinea-Bissau's independence in 1974. In 1976, the club won its first title in the Campeonato Nacional da Guiné-Bissau , the country's top division. Since then, the club has won three more state championships (as of 2019).
União Bissau has won the national cup Taça Nacional da Guiné-Bissau six times (as of 2019).
