[edit] History

In 1993 Tiago, a goalkeeper who went on to have a very large spell with Sporting Clube de Portugal, arrived at the club, and stayed for two years before returning to his alma mater. Apart from him, other players groomed at Sporting would eventually represent the club: Luis Boa Morte, Carlos Fernandes, Vargas, Turf, etc.

Later on, Lourinhanense signed a new protocol of cooperation, now with F.C. Alverca, receiving players like Manú, who later played for S.L. Benfica.

In the season of 2005-06, the main team played in the championship of the 1st Division of Honor, in Lisbon's Football Association. After a third place in the following year, it was declared that the side's main objective was to achieve financial sanitation.

[edit] Kit

The traditional symbols of the club are the green and white colours in a broken shield. In the white side lays a black laurel with golden fruits, with two flowers of a first quarter and the Sun, everything in golden. In the green side, a lion in golden next to the initials SCL, also in golden.

The alternative kit is all yellow. The club is currently sponsored by Adidas.
