Football in Portugal

Football is really important for the Portuguese people. It’s a way of life, a sentiment we can surely understand. The national competition is home to many well-known clubs, like FC Porto, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Braga.

Every year these clubs fight for the coveted league title and decide who can participate in the European tournaments. The most celebrated Portuguese football player is without a doubt Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was born on the Portuguese island of Madeira and made his professional debut at Sporting Lisbon. Other big players from Portugal are Eusébio da Silva Ferreira and Luís Figo.
