2012–13 Segunda Liga

The Segunda Liga (English: Second League) is the Portuguese second level football league. It was previously called Segunda Divisão de Honra (Second Division of Honour). When the LPFP took control of the two nationwide levels, it was renamed "Segunda Liga", before renaming it Liga de Honra. The name reverted to "Segunda Liga" in the beginning of the 2012–13 season. The current champions are Estoril Praia.

Going into its 23rd edition, the Segunda Liga is contested by 22 clubs, with 16 different clubs having won the title.

History

Before 1990, there was only one professional nationwide football league in Portugal the Primeira Divisão (First Division). Lower placed teams were relegated to the Segunda Divisão (Second Division), a regional league, while the top teams from that league would be promoted to the First Division. Starting with the 1990–91 season, a new second-tier professional league was created, taking the name Segunda Divisão de Honra, while the previous Segunda Divisão became the third-tier league and was renamed Segunda Divisão B.

In 1999, the Portuguese League for Professional Football (LPFP) took control of the two nationwide levels and renamed the league Segunda Liga (Second League), while the Segunda Divisão B reverted to its original name.

Competition

From the 2012–13 season on, there are 22 clubs in the Segunda Liga, up from 16 in the previous seasons. During the course of a season, each club plays all teams twice — once at their home stadium and once at their opponent's — for a total of 42 games. At the end of each season, the two top teams are promoted to Primeira Liga, the three lowest placed teams are relegated to the Portuguese Second Division, and the top three teams from the Second Division are promoted to the Segunda Liga.
