The Associação Académica de Coimbra – Organismo Autónomo de Futebol (A.A.C. – O.A.F.), also referred to as Académica de Coimbra (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐkɐˈðɛmikɐ ðɨ kuˈĩbɾɐ]) or simply Académica, is an autonomous and professional football organization based in Coimbra, Portugal. Founded in 1887, it is the oldest Portuguese club, the 4th in number of supporters (after Benfica, Sporting and FC Porto), and the 7th in presences on the first tier of Portuguese football. Académica won the first edition of the Portuguese Football Cup, in 1939.

The club was created in 1887, when Clube Atlético de Coimbra (founded in 1861) and Academia Dramática (founded in 1837) merged. In 1938–39, the football team won their first Portuguese Football Cup, the first under the tournament's current name and a feat they would repeat in 2011–12. In 1966–67, they achieved their highest position of runner-up in the Primeira Liga table.

History and tradition

Being today the most important sports club of Coimbra, Académica was founded by students of the University of Coimbra in 1876, when Clube Atlético de Coimbra (founded in 1861) and Academia Dramática (founded in 1837) merged. The equipment used is black shirt, shorts and socks, due to the relation to and origin in the local and famous University of Coimbra where students wear a typical all-black suit. In the beginning, Académica's footballers were all mostly university students, and very talented players were discovered in the pitch. This was the rule during many decades until the 1970s. Académica used to be a constant team in the Portuguese main division before 1974. After the 25 de Abril Revolution (1974) in Portugal, many changes took place in Portuguese society and the team experienced many changes. Between 1974–75 and 1983–84 football seasons, Académica was present in national competitions as C.A.C. – Clube Académico de Coimbra and after a period of uncertainty and several relegations to the Second Division, the Académica's football team and staff, were gradually professionalized aiming to achieve a stronger position in the modern times of fierce professional competition (although a small number of its modern players continue being students, and among them, a few at the University of Coimbra).

Training and youth facilities

Main article: Centro de Estágios da Académica

Founded in 2007, the Centro de Estágios da Académica is Associação Académica de Coimbra – O.A.F.'s training center and youth academy. In addition, the club has a multiuse sports arena – the Pavilhão Jorge Anjinho. The club also uses the stadium facilities which are the tracks around the football pitch for fitness and running tests.

Stadium

Their home ground is the Estádio EFAPEL, which has a capacity of 30,075.^[1]
