The Sport Clube Lusitânia (commonly shortened to S.C. Lusitânia) is a sports club located in Angra do Heroísmo on the island of Terceira, in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. Besides a football department, the club also has a basketball department that has played in the top level of the Portuguese men's basketball league system.
History
[edit]In 1922, a group of enthusiastic footballers met in the Recreio dos Artistas, and founded the Sport Clube Lusitânia, naming it for the airplane of the same name, used by Portuguese trans-Atlantic flight pioneers Gago Coutinho and Sacadura Cabral. It became the delegation number 14 of Sporting Clube de Portugal (Sporting CP).[1][2]
Their highest achievement is reaching the semifinals of the Taça de Portugal in 1964. They had defeated Ferroviário Lourenço Marques in the quarterfinals, the highest a Portuguese colony club ever reached in the Portuguese Cup (and only because the dictatorship of António de Oliveira Salazar allowed them to play as a means of demonstrating that Portugal's African possessions were provinces and not colonies). The headquarters of the club is in the historic manorhouse of Dona Violante do Canto.[1]
