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. Year 1938 ( MCMXXXVIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Despite that, a Portuguese Championship in a knock-out cup format was the most popular and defined the Portuguese Champion. History The first incarnation of the Taça was in 1912 but very few clubs could participate and thus it was not a regular competition the fact which ended it in

Then, with the reform, a round-basis competition was implemented as the most important of the calendar and began defining the Portuguese champion. From 1938 to 2000 the name Campeonato Nacional da Primeira Divisão (National Championship of the First Division), or just Primeira Divisão (First Division) was used. Year 1938 ( MCMXXXVIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar.

Competition

From the 2006-07 season on there are 16 clubs in the Portuguese Liga, down from 18 in the previous seasons. The 2006-2007 season of Portuguese football started after the 2006 FIFA World Cup. During the course of a season each club plays the others twice, once at their home stadium and once at their opponent's, for a total of 30 games. At the end of each season, the two lowest placed teams are relegated to the Liga de Honra, and the top two teams from Liga de Honra are promoted to the Portuguese Liga.

The third placed team enters the competition at the third qualifying round, and must survive a two-legged knockout tie in order to enter the group phase.

History The first incarnation of the Taça was in 1912 but very few clubs could participate and thus it was not a regular competition the fact which ended it in If the winner of the Cup of Portugal is already qualified for the Champions League, or would be qualified for the UEFA Cup by its league position, the runner-up will occupy the spot in the UEFA Cup. If the runner-up is also qualified for European competition through its league position, the spot is given to the 6th-placed team in the Liga. The 6th-placed team is allowed to play in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, but when it plays in the UEFA Cup because of the situation above, then, the spot is taken by the 7th-placed team.
