History
Moreirense was founded in 1938. It first reached the second division in 1995, returning again six years later, and immediately promoting to the top flight . Manager Manuel Machado lead the northerners for two consecutive seasons, from 2002–04, in which Moreirense achieved two mid-table positions, finishing a best-ever ninth in the latter season .
After Machado departed for neighbouring Vitória de Guimarães , the club suffered two consecutive relegations, only returning again to the second level in 2010, and the first in 2012 .[ 1]
Moreirense achieved its first top level national title on 29 January 2017, winning the League Cup (Taça da Liga ) by defeating S.C. Braga in the final .[ 2]
