History
Founded on 25 December 1951 as a FC Porto subsidiary,[1] Arouca spent the first five decades of its existence in the Aveiro regional leagues. In only two years (2006–08) it managed to reach the third division , being managed by television (RTP ) presenter Jorge Gabriel for a few months during that timeframe.[2]
Arouca managed its fourth promotion in only seven years at the end of 2012–13 , reaching the Primeira Liga for the first time in its history.[3] [4] Subsequently, the Arouca Municipality awarded the club the Medal of Gold Merit for its achievement,[5] with the organization also being granted extra financial means to renovate and expand its stadium.[6]
