History edit

Sporting CP had a women's football team in the 1990s that was established in 1991 during Sousa Cintra's tenure as president of the sports club. In 1995, during the tenure of club president Pedro Santana Lopes, the women's football team was disbanded.[1] Then for 21 years there was no women's football in Sporting CP.[2] The club, then headed by club president Bruno de Carvalho, reactivated the women's football team for the 2016–17 season and immediately won the national championship and the Portuguese cup, qualifying for the UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time.[1][3]
