Gil Vicente Futebol Clube (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒil viˈsẽtɨ]), commonly known as Gil Vicente, founded in 1924, is a Portuguese professional football club that plays in Barcelos.[1] It competes in the Primeira Liga, the top division of football in the country, and it is named after the Portuguese playwright of the same name. The best seasons for the team was in 1999–2000 and 2021–22 Primeira Liga, when they finished fifth in the league.

History

Early years

Gil Vicente Futebol Clube was founded on 3 May 1924, after the creation of other short-lived clubs in Barcelos, such as Barcellos Sporting Club and União Foot-ball Club Barcellense.[2]: 11  A group of friends who would gather in the theater square (Largo do Teatro, currently Largo Doutor Martins Lima), naming the club after the theater, itself named after the Portuguese playwright.[3] The initial name of the club was Gil Vicente Football Barcelense, including a mention of its city that was lost through time.[3] Despite the foundation in 1924, only in 1931 did the club register in the Braga Football Association, participating in the following year in the district league after the city cup against Barcelos Sporting Club.[2]: 21–28 

In 1943 (possibly 1953[2]: 50 ), the club is promoted to the Second Division, and one year later stops participating in the regional championship to play in a national league starting.[4][3]

The first record of a game abroad is in April 1953 against Tuy Racing Club.[2]: 50 

Gil Vicente achieved a club record semi-final in the

SC Braga only after a replay match. In the following edition, the club reached the quarter-finals, losing against FC Porto.[3]

Ascent to top tier

In the 1980s Gil Vicente improved and reached two third places in the North section of the second division. In 1989–90 Segunda Divisão, led by Rodolfo Reis,[3] the team finally achieved promotion to the top tier, winning the North Zone and obtaining a second place in the championship-playoff against Salgueiros and Farense. Despite the success, the season is marked by a controversial decision. An electrical failure in an away match at Maia during a 2–0 Gil Vicente lead with 16 minutes left led to the game being interrupted. The Portuguese Football Federation first awards Gil Vicente a 3–0 win and fines Maia, but the decision would later be changed and the clubs were ordered to repeat the entire match, something which the club claims was inconsistent with another decision in the same year.[4]

In

Benfica and runner-ups FC Porto
able to win.

For 1991-92, the club hired former FC Porto and Sporting CP legend António Oliveira as a manager. The club finished 13th again, 2 points clear of relegation. Relegation was avoided with a 1–0 win over already-crowned champions FC Porto with a goal scored by Morato.[5] Another highlight was reaching the quarter-finals of the Cup, losing to Boavista 1–0 at home.[6]

SL Benfica.[7] The team finished a club record ninth, 3 points clear of relegation. Ljubinko Drulović was the team's star, scoring 10 goals.[7]
He would be transferred to Porto in the Winter of the following season, featuring in all of the teams who won the historic five consecutive league titles.

Oliveira was kept for the following two campaigns. In

1994-95, the team struggled more. It achieved only 7 wins, tied for third-worst in the league. Despite this, its league-leading 13 draws were enough to secure 13th, 3 points clear of relegation.[citation needed] Surprisingly, two of the seven wins came against runner-ups Benfica, both 1–0. The home win was ensured with a stoppage penalty scored by Tuck while the away win goal was scored by Congolese striker Makopoloka Mangonga.[8][9]

For

1995-96, the club hired manager Bernardino Pedroto. The team struggled early, with only 4 points in the first 7 games in the first season where a win was worth 3 points. The form recovered and three well-time consecutive March wins helped achieve 12th place, 3 points clear of relegation. This was the season where hometown player Carlitos established himself in the first teamm, playing 33 league games and scoring 5 goals, both team-leading statistics.[10]

Relegation and return

The

1996-97 was disastrous and the team finished bottom of the league with 19 points, 11 points behind the closest opponent. Pedroto was replaced after the a 1–0 away loss against Espinho in December, achieving only 4 points in the first 12 games.[citation needed] Incoming manager Fernando Festas achieved only one win before being replaced in March after a 4–1 away loss against Chaves. Assistant coach José Marconi led the team until the end of the season, taking two wins in the last 10 games, but coaching the team through its worst defeat in the top tier: a 7–0 away loss at Boavista.[11]

In

SL Benfica chairman Luís Filipe Vieira asked to be removed of the satellite status a few weeks before the end of the season. The request was approved by the Portuguese Football Federation and Gil Vicente would remain in the second tier for another season despite a court appeal.[12]

In

SL Benfica in June 1999.[13]

Magalhães remained at the helm as Gil Vicente obtained a club record Primeira Liga fifth place in the

UEFA Cup spot in the previous season. The team was also a protagonist of the last matchday. Already out of contention for the fourth place, the team hosted FC Porto, who was 1 point behind leaders Sporting CP, who were on a 18-year spell without a league title.[14] Gil Vicente beat FC Porto 2–1 with goals by Lemos, Carlitos and former player Drulović.[15]

In the following two seasons, the club returned to more typical league finishes in the bottom half of the table.

Manoel, Gaspar, and Paulo Alves.[16] In February 2003, Luís Loureiro became the first squad player to be receive a call up to the Portugal national football team.[17]

In the following two seasons, Gil Vicente achieved consecutive 12th and 13th places, with 40 points, both seasons marked by coaching changes: from Mário Reis to Luís Campos and then to Ulisses Morais.

In the

2006–07 Primeira Liga, and Belenenses were allowed to stay up.[18] Gil Vicente were accused by the special sports instances that rule Portuguese football of illegally resorting to regular courts on the dispute of Mateus, according to Gil Vicente, illegal contract with his former employer, FC Lixa.[19]

Still convinced this is not a sports-related case but rather work-related, Gil Vicente continued in the courts.[20] Along with the relegation, they were also suspended from the Taça de Portugal for one season.[21]

On 29 May 2011, the club returned to the top flight as champions of the

final in Coimbra.[23]

A four-year spell in the top flight ended in 2014–15, when Gil Vicente lost 2–1 at F.C. Penafiel in the penultimate round of matches.[24] On 29 April 2018, the club slipped into the third tier for the first time since 1971, but had a place in the 2019–20 Primeira Liga secured as a result of the appeal against the "Matheus Affair".[25] On May 8, 2022, Gil Vicente qualified for a European competition, UEFA Europa Conference League, for the first time in their history, after finishing fifth in the 2021–22 Primeira Liga season.

Other sports

While today only the football section exists, Gil Vicente has had a roller hockey team, and athletes representing the club in cycling and pedestrianism.[2]: 39, 50 

Stadium

The clubs that preceded Gil Vicente had their first games in Campo da Feira and in Campo Dom Carlos (today's Campo 25 de Abril). União Foot-ball Club Barcelense had its first field in Campo da Granja, next to the city's cemetery, playing its first game on April 30, 1922, against Desportivo

SC Braga.[3]

On 16 September 1945, goalkeeper Adelino Ribeiro Novo died in Campo da Granja after a collision with an opponent during a match against

CD Aves. In January 1946, the field was renamed after him as a tribute.[2]: 46  On 8 November 1987, the city donated the stadium to Gil Vicente and the club inaugurates its new headquarters.[26] It currently hosts the clubs youth squads, as well as training sessions and friendly games.[citation needed
]

Estádio Cidade de Barcelos

In 1992, the city bought land in the parish of

UEFA Under-21 European Championship. In May 2020, the city approved the construction of the second stage of the stadium, which will include two adjacent football fields.[26]

Colours and crest

The club's first kit was red. Later kits were green and white horizontally striped, yellow and red (colours of the city), and blue.[2]: 33  The club's modern main kit is usually red, while alternative kits vary, but are usually blue and white.
