Gil Vicente Futebol Clube (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒiɫ viˈsẽt(ɨ)]), commonly known as Gil Vicente, is a professional football club that plays in Barcelos, Portugal. It plays their home matches at the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos. It currently competes in Primeira Liga, the top division of football in the country.

The club was founded in 1924 near the city's theater named after the Portuguese playwright of the same name. It first played in Primeira Liga in 1990-91. Since then, the team has been relegated to the second tier three times, having won back promotion twice by winning the Segunda Liga and once by administrative decision. The highest league finish was a fifth-place in 1999–2000. A women's football team was created for the 2018-19 season playing in the second tier. It will participate in the top tier in the 2020-21 season.[1]

History[edit]

Early years[edit]

Gil Vicente Futebol Clube was founded on 3 May 1924, after the creation of other clubs in Barcelos, such as Barcellos Sporting Club and União Foot-ball Club Barcellense.[2] A group of friends who would gather in the theater square (Largo do Teatro, currently Largo Doutor Martins Lima), naming the club after the theater, itself named after the Portuguese playwright.[2] The initial name for the team was Gil Vicente Football Barcelense.[2]

In 1943, the club is promoted to the Second Division, and one year later stops participating in the regional championship to play in a national league starting.[3][2]

Gil Vicente achieved a club record semi-final in the Portuguese Cup in 1976-77, losing against SC Braga only after a replay match. In the following edition, the club reached the quarter-finals, losing against FC Porto.[2]

Ascent to top tier[edit]

In the 1980s Gil Vicente improved and reached two third places in the North section of the second division. In 1989–90 Segunda Divisão, led by Rodolfo Reis,[2] the team finally achieved promotion to the top tier, winning the North Zone and obtaining a second place in the championship-playoff against Salgueiros and Farense. Despite the success, the season is marked by a controversial decision. An electrical failure in an away match at Maia during a 2-0 Gil Vicente lead with 16 minutes left led to the game being interrupted. The Portuguese Football Federation first awards Gil Vicente a 3-0 win and fines Maia, but the decision would later be changed and the clubs were ordered to repeat the entire match, something which the club claims was inconsistent with another decision in the same year.[3]

In 1990-91, the first season in the top tier, Gil Vicente narrowly avoided relegation. There were 20 participants, with 5 relegation spots, due to a planned decreased to 18 clubs. Gil Vicente finished 13-th with 33 points, the same as relegated Tirsense. The compact Estádio Adelino Ribeiro Novo proved to be a tough spot for visitors, as only champions Benfica and runner-ups FC Porto able to win.

For 1991-92, the club hired former FC Porto and Sporting CP legend António Oliveira as a manager. The club finished 13th again, 2 points clear of relegation. Relegation was avoided with a 1-0 win over already-crowned champions FC Porto with a goal scored by Morato.[4] Another highlight was reaching the quarter-finals of the Cup, losing to Boavista 1-0 at home.[5]

Vítor Oliveira was hired to managed the team for the 1992-93 campaign. Gil Vicente had a tough start, losing three of the first four matches, including a 7-1 thrashing at Marítimo. The season recovered and the team went on to take a home win and an away draw agianst eventual third-placed Sporting CP and a home draw against runner-ups SL Benfica.[6] The team finished a club record ninth, 3 points clear of relegation. Ljubinko Drulović was the team's star, scoring 10 goals.[6] He would be transferred to Porto in the Winter of the following season, featuring in all of the teams who won the historic five consecutive league titles.

Oliveira was kept for the following two campaigns. In 1993-94, Gil Vicente finished tenth, 5 points of relegation. Highlights include one away and two home draws against the eventual top 3 teams. Home games were again a team strength, with only Porto and Benfica achieving fewer than 2 losses. In 1994-95, the team struggled more. It achieved only 7 wins, tied for third-worst in the league. Despite this, its league-leading 13 draws were enough to secure 13th, 3 points clear of relegation.[citation needed] Surprisingly, two of the seven wins came against runner-ups Benfica, both 1-0. The home win was ensured with a stoppage penalty scored by Tuck while the away win goal was scored by Congolese striker Makopoloka Mangonga.[7][8]

For 1995-96, the club hired manager Bernardino Pedroto. The team struggled early, with only 4 points in the first 7 games in the first season where a win was worth 3 points. The form recovered and three well-time consecutive March wins helped achieve 12th place, 3 points clear of relegation. This was the season where hometown player Carlitos established himself in the first teamm, playing 33 league games and scoring 5 goals, both team-leading statistics.[9]

Relegation and return[edit]

The 1996-97 was disastrous and the team finished bottom of the league with 19 points, 11 points behind the closest opponent. Pedroto was replaced after the a 1-0 away loss against Espinho in December, achieving only 4 points in the first 12 games.[citation needed] Incoming manager Fernando Festas achieved only one win before being replaced in March after a 4-1 away loss against Chaves. Assistant coach José Marconi led the team until the end of the season, taking two wins in the last 10 games, but coaching the team through its worst defeat in the top tier: a 7-0 away loss at Boavista.[10]

In 1997-98, Henrique Nunes was hired to manage the team. Gil Vicente achieved the fourth position in the league, 2 points behind promoted Alverca. The club actually celebrated promotion at one point, as Alverca were a satellite club of SL Benfica, and thus forbidden from promotion to the top tier according to the relegation. As the season approached, Alverca, at the time led by future SL Benfica chairman Luís Filipe Vieira asked to be removed of the satellite status a few weeks before the end of the season. The request was approved by the Portuguese Football Federation and Gil Vicente would remain in the second tier for another season despite a court appeal.[11]

In 1998-99 Gil Vicente finally obtained its first national silverware. The team won the Second Division with 68 points, 7 points clear of second place. Led by Álvaro Magalhães and with goal scoring forwards Almani Moreira and Diocleciano Tavares, both with 12 goals, the team also had a higlight 3-2 home win against Sporting in the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup. The club celebrated the promotion and its 75th birthday with a friendly against SL Benfica in June 1999.[12]

Magalhães remained at the helm as Gil Vicente obtained a club record Primeira Liga fifth place in the 1999-2000 season, which would have been enough for a UEFA Cup spot in the previous season. The team was also a protagonist of the last matchday. Already out of contention for the fourth place, the team hosted FC Porto, who was 1 point behind leaders Sporting CP, who were on a 18-year spell without a league title.[13] Gil Vicente beat FC Porto 2-1 with goals by Lemos, Carlitos and former player Drulović.[14]

In the following two seasons, the club returned to more typical league finishes in the bottom half of the table. Vítor Oliveira returned to manage the club in December 2001, taking over the job of Luís Campos. In the 2002-03 season the team achieved eigth place with 44 points. The season included 2 wins against Sporting, including a 3-0 away win at Estádio José Alvalade, with goals from Manoel, Gaspar, and Paulo Alves.[15] In February 2003, Luís Loureiro became the first squad player to be receive a call up to the Portuguese national football team.[16]


In the following two seaons, Gil Vicente achieved consecutive 12th and 13th places, with 40 points, both seasons marked by coaching changes: from Mário Reis to Luís Campos and then to Ulisses Morais.

Mateus Affair[edit]

In the 2005-06 Primeira Liga, Gil Vicente fielded an ineligible player being Angolan forward Mateus. Due to this Gil Vicente lost the right to participate in the 2006-07 Primeira Liga which as a result Belenenses remained in the league as a result of the Mateus Affair.[17] Gil Vicente were accused by the special sports instances that rule Portuguese football of illegally resorting to regular courts on the dispute of Mateus, according to Gil Vicente, illegal contract with his former employer, FC Lixa.[18] however this had been overturned by the courts and Gil has since risen up

Still convinced this is not a sports-related case but rather work-related, Gil Vicente continued in the courts.[19] Along with the relegation, they were also suspended from the Cup of Portugal for one season.[20] Two of the youth teams were also affected by this decision didn't play there respective league games.

In May 2011 the club won its second major trophy the Liga de Honra on the last matchday in a record home attendance against CD Fátima in a 3–1 home win thus gaining promotion to the top flight. Their key players for winning the championship were Hugo Vieira and Cape Verdean striker Zé Luís.

Final Taça liga

Return to top tier[edit]

Stadium[edit]

The first struggles of the young team were mainly about finding a pitch to play. Back then, the team would play in the Campo da Estação (Station Field), which belonged to another club, Triunfo Sport Club. On 3 May 1933, Gil Vicente played on its first field, Campo da Granja, against neighbours SC Braga.[2] In 16 September 1946, goalkeeper Adelino Ribeiro Novo died in Campo da Granja after a collision with an opponent during a match. The field was renamed after him as a tribute.[2] In 8 November 1987, the city donated the stadium to Gil Vicente and the club inaugurates its new headquarters.[3] It currently hosts the clubs youth squads, as well as training sessions and friendly games.[citation needed]

Estádio Cidade de Barcelos

In 1992, the city bought land in the parish of Vila Boa, Barcelos to build a new stadium. Construction for the new Estádio Cidade de Barcelos began in 2001 and in 2002 the first stand was built. The stadium cost 16 million euro.[21] The stadium was inaugurated in 30 May 2004 with a friendly between Gil Vicente and Uruguyan club Club Nacional de Football, ending with a 2-1 loss for the home team, with goals by O.J. Morales, Chory Castro, and Paulo Alves. The first official match was a 0-1 loss against Boavista F.C. on 10 September 2004, with Zé Manel scoring the first official goal.[22] The first Gil Vicente win came two weeks later on September 26, with a 3-1 win over Moreirense F.C., with hometown player Carlitos scoring the first official goal for Gil Vicente in the new stadium. Since then, the Cidade de Barcelos has hosted a friendly game between the Portugal and Canada, as well as 2 group stage games of the UEFA Under-21 European Championship. In May 2020, the city approved the construction of the second stage of the stadium, which will include two adjacent football fields.[3]

Colours and crest[edit]

The club's first kit was red. Later kits were green and white horizontally striped, before blue and red were settled as the club's colours.[2] Later came yellow and red (colours of the town) and then blue.[citation needed] The main kit is usually red, while alternative kits vary, but are usually blue.
