Sporting CP

Sporting CP were founded in 1906 and play their home games at Estádio José Alvalade in Portugal.

Sporting CP emerged in the year of 1906 and ever since, their base of operations is stationed at the stately Estádio José Alvalade in Portugal. A grand structure, this edifice has witnessed a century's worth of footballer's exploits.

The Portuguese side comprises a formidable army of 47 players, the majority of whom fall in the prime age of 23. This blend of youthful exuberance and seasoned experience is what forms the backbone of Sporting CP.

The current season sees Sporting CP flexing their acumen in two diverse competitions. The first is Liga Portugal, the zenith of Portugal's domestic football pyramid. The club also engaged in the historic Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, reaching the grand finale of the event. Of course, their stint in both events have seen them exhibiting their finest football.
