TheCampeonato de Portugal (Portuguese for "Championship of Portugal") is the fourth level of thePortuguese football league system. Together with the third-tierLiga 3, it is organized by thePortuguese Football Federation (FPF).
The Campeonato de Portugal was introduced in 2013 as the new third-level championship, under the nameCampeonato Nacional de Seniores (Seniors National Championship), replacing theSegunda Divisão andTerceira Divisão (former third and fourth divisions, respectively). On 22 October 2015, it adopted its current naming. With the creation of the Liga 3 as the new third division from the 2021–22 season, the Campeonato de Portugal was demoted one level.[1][2]
The first season, 2013–14, was contested by a total of 80 clubs, which included 19 teams from theDistrict Championships, 39 from theSegunda Divisão, 19 from theTerceira Divisão and three teams relegated from theSegunda Liga during the 2012–13 season. In 2017–18, the format consisted of five series of eighteen teams, arranged according to geographic criteria, with the exception of teams fromMadeira (placed in the first series) and from theAzores (placed in the last two series).[3][4] The competition played with four groups of 18 teams in 2018–19 and the curtailed 2019–20 season. It has been played with eight groups of 12 in 2020–21, then it was reduced to five of 10 and one group of 11 teams in 2021–22 season.[2]
