The club has spent several seasons fluctuating between the first and second tiers of Portuguese football, with their most significant achievement being their presence in the Primeira Liga, the top flight of Portuguese football.

Their fan base, while smaller compared to the giants of Portuguese football, is fiercely loyal and takes great pride in the club's community roots and spirit.
