Futebol Clube Paços de Ferreira (pron. IPA: ['pasuʃ dɨ fɨ'ʁɐiɾɐ]), commonly shortened to P.Ferreira, is a Portuguese football club based in Paços de Ferreira, who have won the II Liga three times, most recently in the 2004-2005 season. The club is also in the process of building a new 25,000 seat stadium. F.C. Paços de Ferreira currently play at the Estádio da Mata Real in Paços de Ferreira in northern Portugal. The current team sponsor is Capital do Móvel and their kits are Yellow and Green.

The team currently play in the Portuguese top flight, the SuperLiga. Paços de Ferreira are usually not taken seriously in the Superliga which leads to many surprises such as the 1-1 home tie against F.C Porto late in the 2006-2007 season and their subsequent first ever qualification for the UEFA Cup.

Their main rivals outside of Portugal are Spainish side Celta de Vigo. The teams play each other every pre-season.

The origin of Paços de Ferreira is in the 1930s when the club was named Sport Club Pacense. The club played two decades without any official recognition until they began playing in the lower divisions in the 1950s where the club's name was 'Futebol clube Vasco da Gama which eventually was given to the Brazilian club Vasco da Gama. The club then changed the kit colours to Green and Yellow and renamed themselves, F. C. Paços de Ferreira.

The beginning of F. C. Paços de Ferreira was on November 19 of 1950 where they beat Lousada 2-1 a sign of a bright future in Portugal. Agostinho Alves was the first goal scorer in the history of the Pacenses. The club then played in Portugal's Third Regional Division until the 1956\1957 season where they were Champion's. The club crest was then created in the 1961-1962 season and has been used ever since.

The club was relegated and then promoted again and their fanatical support hit the streets of Paços de Ferreira on June 17 of 1973 when they defeated Perosinho 3-0.

One year later the Pacos came back to inflate their fans egos with the third division championship, On June 14 1974 the Pacenese invaded the Estádio Municipal de Leiria where they defeated Estrela de Portalegre. The hero of the game was the scorer Mascarenhas.
