Welcome
Welcome to my new Football Manager 15 Story with Sporting Clube de Portugal in the Primeira Liga. You may remember my story "Inter Milan - Restoring A Reputation" or my two failed stories "PSV - The Dutch Revival" and "RB Leipzig - Earn Your Wings". The purpose of this challenge is to break the stranglehold that Benfica and Porto currently have in Portugal, as well as European Glory; and what better team to try it with than Sporting.
Founded in Lisbon on 1 July 1906, they are one of the "Três Grandes" (The Big Three) football clubs in Portugal. With 120,000 club members, their teams, athletes and supporters are often nicknamed Leões (English: Lions) by their fans.
Sporting were a founding member of the Primeira Liga and, together with Benfica and FC Porto, have never been relegated from the First Division of Portuguese football since the league's establishment in 1934. Sporting are the third most successful Portuguese football club, with forty-four titles in Portuguese domestic competitions and one international title, the 1963–64 European Cup Winners' Cup. Domestically, they have won eighteen Primeira Liga titles, fifteen Portuguese Cups, four Championship of Portugal titles (a record tied with Porto) and seven Portuguese SuperCup titles.
Sporting Clube de Portugal are ranked thirty-third in UEFA club rankings.
