history

Although Vitória won the Portuguese Cup only once, the club was one of the most established clubs in Portugal, having mostly played for the UEFA Cup places over the past 20 years. The club's most successful placement in the first Portuguese league was third place, which has already been achieved four times. In Portugal's all-time table, Vitória takes fifth place , behind Benfica Lisbon , FC Porto , Sporting Lisbon and Belenenses Lisbon .

In 1988 Vitória defeated FC Porto in the final of the Portuguese Super Cup Cândido de Oliveira 2-0, which was their first national triumph. In the 2005/06 season , the club rose for the first time in 48 years in the Liga de Honra , the second Portuguese league, which was renamed Liga Vitalis from. But already in the following season, 2006/07 , Vitória managed to immediately rise again. In the 2007/08 season , Vitória sensationally achieved third place as a climber and thus participation in the Champions League qualification.

In recent years certain Vitória games have become a cauldron. In the first place is the local derby against Sporting Braga , the so-called Derby Minhoto , since Guimarães belongs to the Braga district in the Minho region. But the encounters against Académica Coimbra (which are based more on historical reasons) and record champions Benfica are of great importance. Therefore, the surprising cup success 2012/13 against Benfica Lisbon was celebrated very effusively. The 2-1 victory over the actually overpowering opponent Benfica Lisbon was by far the greatest success in the club's history.
