From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Portuguese football leagues are divided into divisions (divisões , singular – divisão ). The top teams play in the Primeira Liga , named Liga NOS for sponsorship reasons. In each division, with rare exceptions, a team plays all other teams twice, once at home and once away. One can divide the competitions in professional and non-professional.
The Portuguese league and federation teams compete in Europe under UEFA , most notably in the UEFA Champions League , but also in the UEFA Cup , in the extinct Cup Winners' Cup and sometimes in the UEFA Intertoto Cup , European Super Cup and the extinct UEFA/Conmebol Intercontinental Cup (Toyota Cup). They can also compete in the FIFA Club World Cup , although until today no Portuguese team reached this recent competition. The teams also compete in a domestic cup competition each year, called Cup of Portugal (Taça de Portugal ) and the winners play against the champions in the SuperCup Cândido de Oliveira .
