History
In 1993 Tiago, a goalkeeper who went on to have a very large spell with Sporting Clube de Portugal, arrived at the club, and stayed for two years before returning to his alma mater. Apart from him, other players groomed at Sporting would eventually represent the club: Luís Boa Morte, Carlos Fernandes and Miguel Vargas, amongst others.
Later on, Lourinhanense signed a new protocol of cooperation, now with F.C. Alverca, receiving players like Manú, who later played for S.L. Benfica.
In the season of 2005-06, the main team played in the championship of the 1st Division of Honor, in Lisbon's Football Association. After a third place in the following year, it was declared that the side's main objective was to achieve financial sanitation.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
