Sporting CP

Sporting Clube de Portugal ComC MHIH OM (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈspɔɾtiɡ(ɨ) ˈkluβ(ɨ) ðɨ puɾtuˈɣal]), otherwise known simply as Sporting (particularly in Portugal), as Sporting CP, or often as Sporting Lisbon abroad, is a club based in Lisbon.

Founded on 1 July 1906, Sporting is one of the "Tres Grandes" (Big Three) football clubs in Portugal, along with rivals S.L. Benfica and FC Porto, that have never been relegated from the top flight of Portuguese football, Primeira Liga, since 1934. Sporting are nicknamed Leoes (Lions) and Verde e Brancos (Green and Whites). The club's anthem, "A Marcha do Sporting" (Sporting's March), was written in 1955. On July 2020, Sporting announced that it had 106,625 active members, following its last recount.

Sporting are the third most decorated Portuguese football team, with a total of 53 trophies, including one international title, the 1963–64 European Cup Winners' Cup. Domestically, they have won 19 Primeira Liga titles, 17 Portuguese Cups (Taca de Portugal), 4 Championship of Portugal (a record tied with Porto), 3 Taca da Liga and 9 Portuguese Super Cup trophies. Internationally, Sporting are currently ranked 32nd in UEFA club rankings.
