Clube de Futebol «Os Belenenses», usually known simply as Belenenses (pron. IPA: [bɨlɨ'nẽsɨʃ]), founded in 1919, is one of the leading Portuguese sports clubs. It is based in the Belém quarter of Lisbon, hence the club name, which translates as "The Belem-ers".

The main activities of the club are football, handball, basketball, futsal, athletics, and rugby. The club has won major national championships in all these sports, but remains best known for its original activity, football. They have won the Portuguese Liga once (1945/1946), the only team, together with Boavista FC to do so outside the Big Three (FC Porto, Sporting CP and SL Benfica).

[edit] Football

The 2005/2006 season saw the football team finishing fourth from bottom, which would mean relegation for the team. However, the team won a subsequent appeal that sent Gil Vicente F.C. down instead. With this reprieve, the team will again play in the top level of Portuguese football, currently named the Liga betandwin.com, for the 69th of 73 seasons - the team with most presences at top level after the Big Three.
