Futebol Clube de Vizela is a Portuguese professionalfootball club that plays inLiga Portugal 2, the second tier of Portuguese football. They are based in the town ofVizela and play in the Estádio do Futebol Clube de Vizela, with a capacity of 6,000.[citation needed]
Vizela joined the Braga Football Association on 1 August 1940. Twenty-six years later, the first trophy came, with the conquest of theTaça de Campeão Nacional after defeating Tramagal Sport União (5–3). The club spent the vast majority of its early years in theCampeonato de Portugal.
In 1984, Vizela were promoted for the first time in its history to thePrimeira Liga, but this spell only lastedone season, with the club ranking last. Shortly after, the team was again in the third level, only returning in the 2000s.
Again in the "silver category" of Portuguese football, Vizela finished third in the2007–08 season, falling just one point short of a promotion. Inthe following year, it finished in 10th position, but was relegated due to theApito Dourado scandal; for several years, the club acted asS.C. Braga'sfarm team.
In May 2021, the club were placed 2nd in the2020–21 Liga Portugal 2 to get promoted into thePrimeira Liga for the second time in the club's history since 1985 after a 36-year absence.[1]
