Sporting Clube de Portugal (pron. IPA: ['spɔɾtĩg 'klub(ɨ) dɨ puɾtu'gaɫ]) or simply Sporting, often known outside Portugal, although erroneously, as Sporting Lisbon (in the past the club has attempted to shed this name, namely through ex-president Sousa Cintra and his staff, in an effort to be known abroad by its true and correct name), was established in 1902 as Sport Club de Belas, which became Campo Grande Sporting Club in 1904, and it took its current name in 1906, Sporting Clube De Portugal and has done so for the past 100 years.

The club foundation was instigated by José Holtreman Roquette (José of Alvalade), with the support in money and land of his grandfather, Alfredo Augusto das Neves Holtreman, Viscount of Alvalade. The Viscount of Alvalade was the first President of Sporting Clube de Portugal.

It is an eclectic sports club based in Lisbon, Portugal, being notably renowned for its football branch, which is its most popular department. Along with F.C. Porto and S.L. Benfica, Sporting is one of the "Big Three" clubs in Portugal.

Football

Estádio José Alvalade XXI

Sporting Portugal boasts a new stadium, Estádio José Alvalade XXI, built for the 2004 European Football Championship. Sporting also has a world-class football training facility (Academia Sporting in Alcochete), which accommodated Portugal during the Euro 2004, and helps to produce some of the best Portuguese players, such as Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Estádio José Alvalade

It was designed by Tomás Taveira and was classified by UEFA as a 5-star stadium, enabling it to host finals of major UEFA events. This stadium - originally projected to hold only 40,000 spectators at any given time - has a capacity of 52,000 and was acoustically engineered as a venue for major concerts. Its official opening was on 6 August2003 when Sporting played and beat Manchester United 3-1. It also hosted the 2005 UEFA Cup final between Sporting and CSKA Moscow, which CSKA won 3-1.

The stadium was also one of the stadiums that hosted matches in Euro 2004. There were five games played in Estádio José Alvalade, one of them being the semi-final between Portugal and The Netherlands, which Portugal won 2-1. This match won the title of Best Organized in the whole competition. It was a great game for all Portuguese football fans.

The club's football team captured 18 championship titles, 13 cups and won the former Cup Winners' Cup in 1964, their only European title.

Sporting is one of the biggest clubs in Europe having more than 90.000 club members since 1997. Recent idols Joao Moutinho and Nani are two youngsters from Sporting C.P's youth academy and are now playing for the national Portugueese team.Sporing has a bright future and has had a super performance in the league.

Sporting's youth academy

Famous for its football youth academy system, one of the most modern and renowned in the world, Sporting has continuously developed many world class footballers, many of them incidentally wingers. Some of its most notable home-bred footballers include João Moutinho and Nani in the current squad, Paulo Futre (Retired), Luís Figo (Inter Milan), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) and Luís Boa Morte (West Ham United). There are also other players that failed to make an impression outside Portugal, such as Dani (Retired) who played for Ajax Amsterdam, or former FC Barcelona player Ricardo Quaresma (who joined Porto in 2004) and Simão Sabrosa (joined SL Benfica in 2001).The Youth Academy was considered by Luiz Felipe Scolari (Portuguese national coach) and José Pekerman (Argentinian national coach) as one of the best sports academies in the world. It was also the home training ground for the Portuguese national football team during Euro 2004. A great number of European clubs choose the Sporting's Academia for training in the off-season.

The Academy has been renamed Puma Academy (Academia Puma) in virtue of the sponsoring and naming contract signed by the club and the sports brand Puma in 2006, the contract will last until 2012.
