Bursting onto the football scene in 1921, SC Braga established their roots deep into Portuguese soil. A good kick of the ball from the Douro, their home ground, Estádio Municipal de Braga, sits nestled in the heart of Portugal. A suitable venue for a club of its commitment, perhaps.
Laden with 38 players, the Braga contingent sports an average age of 24, unique and rather impressive figure I dare say, demonstrating their investment in youth and the future of the game.
The current season, in its relentless unfolding, finds SC Braga holding their own on multiple fronts. Firstly, gallantly making their mark on Liga Portugal, landing at a respectable 6th place. A precipice from where they can eye the top with aspiration and silent determination. In addition, they made their presence felt in the bitterly contested Europa League Qualifiers, reaching the gruelling Play-Offs stage. And as if two competitions were not enough to satisfy their thirst for football, they also embarked on the journey through the tense and thrilling Europa League League Phase.
