The Rise and Fall of Portugal's FORGOTTEN Giant

Most football fans don't know much about Portuguese football.
The vast majority know about Porto and Benfica because of their frequent appearances in the Champions League knockout rounds and Sporting because that's the club where Ronaldo came from. But today, we won't be talking about any of those teams. Instead, I will tell you all about the fascinating rise of Boavista and the nightmarish scenario that they're currently in.
From their iconic league title win to the brink of bankruptcy, this is The Rise and Fall of Portugal's Forgotten Giant.

Sou portista mas espero que o Boavista volte por cima desta situação como um clube importante para a nossa historia como sao

[anthonyleighton]

Boavista definitely got the coolest name and kit in the Portuguese leauge....

[TheMajestic]

Saudades do "Boavistão", só de pensar que em 2003 podia ter havido um derby do Porto na final da Taça UEFA.

Good video overall but at 5:32 when Boavista came back up, no debts were erased. Of the 20M requested as compensation, they ended up agreeing on 1M for league registration, as the Federation has always refused to pay any damages (in a situation like "take this or we will just drag this dispute in court forever). Just look at Gil Vicente who also went to court to receive such a sum in their case and in 2024 they still haven't received a penny, as the Federation refuses to pay and wants to continue appealing in court.

4:03 Second player is Martelinho not Petit
Sorry for the mistake 🙏

I'm not familiar with Portugal football league.But it's always sad to see the decline of any football team.Could you make a video on Scotland Football Team and poor run at the recent Euros next.

Watching this after finding out they got relegated after finishing bottom of the league 💔

[turkkebab]

Boa vista, the second club to win Liga Portugal in XXI Century

Sometimes you think how did this happen

[lobofooty]

Boavista FC in Cape Verde are still giants though!

[rubencarvalho]

If they get relegated this season I think its over for them😢😢

[codino]

Only bad part about them going down is that porto should also go down according to the golden whistle case. Nowadays we have benfica with 2 confirmed cases but they said their directors only acted as fans... While paying opponents to throw games and refs to favour them.
The fact you say, you only know the second club in europe with more trophies in all of sports only behind Barca, because of ronaldo...that managed to train 4 different ballon dor top 3: Eusébio (Sporting Lourenço Marques), Futre, Figo and Ronaldo all came from Sporting, here you have, 7 ballon dors plus futre 2nd place in 87 and ronaldo's multiple podiums, plus 11 olympic medals... Do a bit of research next time, pls
Also Belenenses is bigger than Boavista

[HMS-hszi]

Corporate big money will destroy grassroot of whole European football. At the end there will be likely some 10 big clubs are rest are drawfs unable to earn enough. You see most of people are bandwagoners. Messi here, Ronaldo there.

[franciscocameiradematos]

"all clubs were convicted in court". This is simply wrong.

[guerreiro]

Everybody knows wich club should be punished ... but the target in first place was Boavista! Offcourse, when police start to investigate, fc porto appears buyng lots of referees and other scheams showing how they won and win (More than 40 years of it!) ...

But they have power to get free and gain even more power. As we all see every week!

[iamekid]

I wouldn't call them giants. They "won" a championship then their president was the FA's president's son

[tiagomacedo]

What Giant? They won because the son was president of Boavista and the father was president of portugal football legaue if you say a club is a giant because they won a league with curruption i don't say that...
