Founded in 1919, Clube de Futebol Os Belenenses are one of the oldest clubs in Portugal. There was a time where Belenenses was considered one of the "Big Four". In the first fifteen years of the Taça de Portugal, the club lifted the trophy 3 times from a total of 6 finals.
The club also has a historic claim to the Portuguese top flight. Belenenses won the 1945-46 Primeira Liga, the first and only club outside the Big Three to do so.

Recent Upheaval
Following some recent upheaval, C.F. Os Belenenses have found themselves in the sixth division of Portuguese football. Essentially, the club split into two different sides. C.F. Os Belenenses kept the badge, stadium, history and fans, whilst Belenenses SAD who kept their Primeira Liga status with a new badge and stadium.
B-SAD now find themselves in the second tier, just one step above the mighty CF Os. I will make it one of my personal missions to inflict as much pain onto B-SAD as possible. Hopefully making them be very sad indeed.
Goals
My goal for this save is to restore Belenenses to their position at the upper echelons of Portuguese football, restoring the former 'Big Four'. Whilst it won't be possible to overtake our domestic rivals in trophy count, I'm looking to set the club up for generations of future success.
As eluded to above, I will also be looking to establish ourselves on the right side of the B-SAD split. I'm not sure how far I'll go with this: Big matchday wins? Poaching their best players? Leading an angry mob of Belenenses fans to politely request they liquidate? Thoughts appreciated.
