Vitória
Sport Clube is a Portuguese football club based in the city of Guimarães,
located 40 km north of Oporto. It is reported to be established in 1922.
Although Guimaraes (the club abreviation used in Portugal) never managed to
win the championship or even the Portuguese cup, it is one of the most
respected clubs in Portugal, playing in the last decades always at the top
division, most of the times seeking for those places that allow to play in
an european competition. Clubs such as Parma AC, Atletico Madrid and Sparta
Prague were eliminated from european competitions in ties with Guimaraes.
Unfortunately, those golden times are gone and now Vitoria Guimaraes SC
struggles to keep itself at the Portuguese top division Superliga. Vitoria
SC plays at D. Afonso Henriques Stadion , host of the Euro 2004.
