Founded on 18 March 1918, Feirense play in the LigaPro, the second tier of Portuguese football. Their chairman is Kunle Soname and their manager is Filipe Martins. The club plays its home matches at the Estádio Marcolino de Castro, with a capacity of 5,500 spectators.
History
Founded in 1918, Feirense played only three Primeira Liga seasons in the 20th century – 1962–63, 1977–78 and 1989–90 – being relegated in each one. In 2009–10, the club came close to ending a two-decade exile but missed out on the last day, as local rivals S.C. Beira-Mar went up with Portimonense SC.
The following year, Feirense went one better by coming second, missing out on the title on goal difference to Gil Vicente F.C. and winning promotion under Quim Machado in May 2011. However, a year later they were relegated. A four-season spell in the second tier ended with promotion in third place in May 2016, under manager José Mota.
Mota left in December 2016 and was succeeded by his assistant Nuno Manta Santos, who took the team to a best-ever eighth place. After just staying up in 2018, Feirense went down in April 2019 with four games to play.
Feirense on võitnud ühe peaauhinna, Portugali karika 1989. aastal. Klubil on ka mitmeid teisi auhindu, sealhulgas kaks Portugali esiliiga tiitlit ja üks Portugali kolmanda liiga tiitel.
Feirense kodustaadion on Estádio Marcolino de Castro, mis mahutab 5650 pealtvaatajat. Klubi värvid on sinine ja valge.
Feirense on tuntud oma tugeva noorteakadeemia poolest, mis on välja toonud sellised mängijad nagu Bruno Fernandes, João Mário ja Gelson Martins.
