Vitória Sport Clube is a Portuguese sports club in the city of Guimarães, where different sports are practiced. This article is about its professional basketball section, whose senior men's and women's teams compete respectively in the Portuguese Basketball League, the top level of the sport in Portugal, and in the Second Basketball Division, the third competition in Portugal.[1]
The teams, 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]
History
Vitória's men's basketball team, founded in 2004, came about as a continuation of the project of another club, called "Basquetebol Clube de Guimarães", founded in 1993, with its managers moving to Vitória de Guimarães, namely Pedro Guerreiro and António Lourenço, leading the club to consolidate its position in the LPB, the top level, since 2008/09 and consequently to win several national titles in the seasons that followed.[3]
Women's basketball team was founded a year later for the 2005/06 season, and after 11 years it won its first First Division National Championship title. In the following seasons, already in the elite of women's basketball, Vitória managed to constantly fight for the top spots and play in some cup finals, feats led by teams made up of players from Vitória's training centre.[4][5]
However, in 2022 Vitória SC announced that it would not register the women's basketball team in the LFB (basketball's elite) as a first step towards the reformulation of the sport's tiers based on the development of young athletes from the academy, leading to the women's team having to start again in the third tier.[6]
