Atlético Clube de Portugal

Atlético Clube de Portugal was formed when two clubs from west Lisbon, Carcavelinhos and União, merged to create a stronger team. The merger was formalised on the night of 18 September 1942, during a grand session held in the Cinema Promotora, owned by the Sociedade Promotora de Educação Popular, in Alcântara.

A decade of great success

The early years of Atlético Clube de Portugal were marked by significant success. By combining the talent and resources of two of Lisbon's strongest teams, the club achieved outstanding results in football, basketball, and field hockey. The club's first title came from the basketball team, which won the 1942/43 Regional Championship of Lisbon. This was the first of five Lisbon Championships won within a decade. The basketball team also won the Cup of Honour (predecessor of the Portuguese Cup) in 1943/44, a 2nd Division title in 1943/44, and a Portuguese Cup in 1953/54. The rugby section, composed of former students from the Instituto Superior de Agronomia, won two Regional Championships of Lisbon. In football, the club reached the Portuguese Cup final twice, in 1946 and 1949, although they lost both times. They also secured two podium finishes in the 1st Division and won the 2nd Division title in 1944/45, marking some of the club's greatest achievements. In 1951, Atlético was awarded the rank of Official of the Military Order of Christ for its cultural and athletic contributions to national sports.
