Biography
Formation
Clube de Futebol Os Belenenses, commonly known as Os Belenenses, is a professional football club based in Lisbon, Portugal, founded in 1919. It is one of the oldest sports clubs in the country and has a rich history in Portuguese football. The club's name translates to "The ones from Belém," reflecting its geographical roots in the Belém neighborhood of Lisbon. The team plays its home matches at the Estádio do Restelo, which has a capacity of 19,856 seats.
Early Achievements
Belenenses quickly made a name for itself in Portuguese football, reaching its first Campeonato final in 1926 and winning its first title the following year. The club secured its second championship in 1929 and a third in 1933, establishing itself as one of the "Big Four" clubs in Portugal. Notably, the club's early years were marked by the emergence of José Manuel Soares, affectionately known as Pepe, who became a legendary figure after a dramatic match against Benfica.
Primeira Liga Success
The pinnacle of Belenenses' achievements came in the 1945-46 season when they won their only Primeira Liga title, finishing just one point ahead of Benfica. This victory was historic as it marked the first time a club outside the traditional Big Three won the title. Belenenses also enjoyed success in domestic cup competitions, winning the Taça de Portugal three times and the Campeonato de Portugal three times as well.
Legacy
Despite facing challenges in later years, including relegation to lower divisions, Belenenses remains a beloved club with a passionate fanbase. The club's legacy is celebrated through its honors and the enduring memory of its early stars, particularly Pepe, whose story continues to resonate in Portuguese football culture. Belenenses' contributions to the sport are recognized with awards such as the Officer of the Order of Merit of Portugal and the Commander of the Military Order of Christ.

Career & Clubs
Early years
Founded in 1919, Belenenses reached their first Campeonato final in 1926, losing 2–0 to Marítimo, and won the title the next season with a 3–0 win over Vitória de Setúbal and winning a second championship in 1929. The club lost the 1932 title to Porto 2–1 in a replay after a 4–4 draw. The club won its third and final Campeonato in 1933 after defeating Sporting CP 3–1. With three Campeonato wins, Belenenses was one of Portugal's "Big Four". At this time, José Manuel Soares (Pepe), one of the first idols of Portuguese football, stood out. His story began in a match against Benfica in which, with 15 minutes to go, Belenenses were losing 4–1, but the club managed to draw level at 4-4. In the final minutes of the match, Belenenses had a penalty in their favor, and Pepe, who was making his debut, didn't flinch and made the score 4–5 in favor of "The Boys of the Beach". Unfortunately, Pepe died prematurely at the age of 23, accidentally poisoned by his mother. In his memory, Belenenses erected a mausoleum at the Restelo stadium, where Porto, whenever they play there, lay a wreath in honor of the player, in one of the oldest traditions in Portuguese football.
League champions
The club won its only Primeira Liga title in 1945–46, edging Benfica by one point, the first time that a club outside the Big Three won the title. On 14 December 1947, they were the first team to face Real Madrid at their newly inaugurated Santiago Bernabéu Stadium (then called the…
