Biography
Formation
Sporting Clube de Braga, commonly known as S.C. Braga, is a professional football club based in Braga, Portugal. The club's origins trace back to 1919 when a group of local residents, inspired by the Lisbon-based Sporting Clube de Portugal, adopted the name Sporting Clube de Braga. Initially, they wore the same green and white kit as Sporting CP, but in 1921, to accommodate fans of Sport Lisboa e Benfica, they changed their colors to red and white, which remain today.
Evolution of Identity
For many years, S.C. Braga imitated Benfica's kit, donning red shirts, shorts, and white socks until 1945. Following World War II, the club adopted a new style inspired by Arsenal, featuring white sleeves. This change was either at the request of club president José Antunes Guimarães, who had connections in London, or due to the influence of Hungarian coach József Szabó. The new kit proved successful, as Braga won the Segunda Divisão title in 1947, marking their ascent to the First Division.
Achievements
S.C. Braga has a rich history of success in both national and international competitions. They have won the Taça de Portugal three times (1965–66, 2015–16, 2020–21) and the Taça da Liga three times (2012–13, 2019–20, 2023–24). Internationally, they claimed the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2008, solidifying their reputation as a formidable force in Portuguese football. The club continues to compete in Liga Portugal, showcasing their enduring legacy in the sport.

Career & Clubs
Existing records say that in 1919, two years before the formal foundation, a group of Braga residents who were sympathisers of the Lisbon-based Sporting Clube de Portugal (Sporting CP) came up with the name Sporting Clube de Braga. The equipment used was also identical to that of Sporting CP. During weekend matches at Campo das Goladas, the friends from Braga wore the classic Sporting CP Stromp kit, with a green and white shirt split down the middle. Influenced by sympathisers of Sport Lisboa e Benfica (Benfica), a solution was found in 1921 to please everyone. The name remained true to Sporting CP, but the kit changed to red and white, in honour of the connection of some of the Braga fans to Lisbon's Benfica.
Until 1945, SC Braga imitated Benfica's kit. Red shirt, shorts and white socks. That year, at the end of World War II, the club adopted the Arsenal version for their second team, with white sleeves. Braga changed their kits to their current red and white during the 1945–46 season (for the reserve squad) and the 1946–47 season (for the first team). The change, according to one version of the story, was at the behest of their president, José Antunes Guimarães, who had business connections in London and was an Arsenal fan; according to an alternate version, it was József Szabó, Braga's Hungarian coach, who asked the president to change the uniform to an Arsenal-style red and white. In 1947, Braga won the Second division title in the new kit, reaching the First division…
