The club's football team has won 18 championship titles, 13 cups and the former Cup Winners' Cup in 1964, their only European title.
Sporting Clube de Portugal has been a major contender in the Portuguese League since the beginning. The club's football department developed an increasingly professionalized profile which operates in an increasingly competitive environment in Portugal and Europe. In 1998, the football department of the club was reorganized into a company and issued stock on the market.
