Portuguese Liga
Encyclopedia
The Primeira Liga formerly called Primeira Divisão, currently named Liga ZON Sagres after their main sponsors, is the top professional association football division of the Portuguese football league system. It has a European ranking of 6th by UEFA
's ranking of 2011, a World ranking of 8th by IFFHS's ranking of 2011 and a European ranking of 6th by IFFHS's ranking of 2011.
The Liga ZON Sagres is presently contested by 16 clubs each season, but only five of them have won the title. Currently going into its 78th edition (counting four provisional championships in the 1930s), the competition is dominated by the nicknamed "Big Three
" (Futebol Clube do Porto, Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Sporting Clube de Portugal), who have a total of 75 titles, with Clube de Futebol "Os Belenenses" and Boavista Futebol Clube winning the other two. The current champions are Futebol Clube do Porto.
Then, with the reform, a round-robin basis competition was implemented as the most important of the calendar and began defining the Portuguese champion. From 1938–2000, the name Campeonato Nacional da Primeira Divisão (National Championship of the First Division), or just Primeira Divisão (First Division), was used. When the Portuguese League for Professional Football
took control of the two nationwide leagues in 1999, it was renamed Campeonato Nacional da Primeira Liga (Premier League National Championship), or simply Primeira Liga (Premier League).
. The football
teams of Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Futebol Clube do Porto and Sporting Clube de Portugal have a great rivalry, and are usually the main contenders for the title. Between them they share all but two of the Portuguese Football Championships ever played and generally end up sharing the top three positions. The two clubs outside the big three to have won the Portuguese league are Belenenses in the 1945-46 season
and Boavista
in the 2000-01 season
.
These clubs dominate Portuguese football so it's normal to support any of these teams as a "first club". The majority of the fans support one of "The Big Three", with a local team probably coming afterwards (or in some cases not coming at all). The big three have the highest average attendance ratings every season in Portugal, while the other teams, lacking support from the locals (with the exception of Vitória de Guimarães and Braga, which are the 4th or 5th team with the most support), have suffered from weak attendances due in part to the big three's monopoly. The lack of support for local teams is considered to be one of the main reasons why Portuguese Football registers one of the worst attendance ratings in European Football's best championships, alongside the price of game tickets and the broadcast of almost all the games in television. In other sports, the rivalry between the big clubs is also considerable and it usually leads to arguments between the fans and players.
Benfica is the team with most Championship titles won, but Porto has been the dominating force in the last three decades, having more titles than any Portuguese team and also being the team with the most National Super Cups won. Sporting holds the third place when it comes to the most Cup titles, as well as League Titles. Benfica has two consecutive European Cup titles won and Porto is the only Portuguese team to have won any European Competition (excluding the Intertoto Cup) in the last twenty five years, gathering, since 1987, a total of 2 European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles, 2 UEFA Cup/Europa League Cup, 1 European Super Cup and 2 Intercontinental Cups. Sporting won, for one time, the extinct European Cup Winner´s Cup, back in the sixties. Apart from the big three, Braga has won the last Intertoto Cup in 2008 and was runners-up in the 2010-2011 Europa League, losing against Porto.

History
Before the Portuguese football reform of 1938, an experimental competition on a round-basis was already being held — the Primeira Liga (Premier League) and the winners of that competition were named "League champions". Despite that, a Portuguese Championship in a knock-out cup format was the most popular and defined the Portuguese champion.Then, with the reform, a round-robin basis competition was implemented as the most important of the calendar and began defining the Portuguese champion. From 1938–2000, the name Campeonato Nacional da Primeira Divisão (National Championship of the First Division), or just Primeira Divisão (First Division), was used.
