Vitória Sport Clube is aPortuguese sports club in the city ofGuimarães, where different sports are practiced. This article is about its professionalhandball section, whose senior men's team competes in thePortuguese Handball National Championship (Andebol 1), the highest level of the sport in Portugal.[1]
The team, from youth to senior level, train and play their games in the Vimaranense Unit Sports Pavilion, which is located in the Vitória SC Academy.[2]
The handball section began between the club's 40th and 50th anniversaries in the 1960s, at the Campo da Amorosa rink, where they became national junior runners-up in their first season.[3]
Over three decades of existence, the section enjoyed several regional and national successes at youth level, but was deactivated at the end of the 1994/95 season, the year in which Vitória Sport Clube won the National Youth Championship.[2]
The section was later reactivated in the 2020/21 season, and soon demonstrated the quality needed to go far. The team quickly rose to theHandball National Championship (Andebol 1), the highest level, after two promotions as champions in the space of three years.[4][5]
This resurgence comes through a partnership withCCR Fermentões, which focuses on training young people, with both clubs working together at the lower levels.[6]
