Braga Rivalry

Braga is a relatively strong and respected club in Portugal, and as such, it has developed a rivalry with Vitoria Guimaraes. With both teams coming from the region called Minho, placed in the north of the country, it has a bit of a local flavour and it is known as the Derby of Minho Province.

The strain between the clubs developed significantly during the period when Portugal was preparing to host the 2004 European Championship, when both clubs had new stadiums built and played their respective roles in the event. Finishing usually in the top half of the table, they are often direct competitors for a place in the Europa League as well.

Braga History

Braga, or Sporting Clube de Braga to be more precise, was founded at the start of 1921. The club struggled to reach the higher tiers of the Portuguese football system for over 20 years, and in 1942, they managed to break into the second division for the first time. It took them five years to navigate further upwards, but they’ve spent most of their history since in the Primeira Liga. One season in the 50s, three in the 60s, and five in the 70s were the exceptions, but they haven’t been relegated again since 1975.

As has already been said, they finished in the top half of the table most of the seasons. They had a relatively poor period from the mid-80s to the mid-90s, but that is about it. In recent years they are a regular participant of the Europa League, never winning it, but they came very close in 2011 when they were defeated by Porto in the first all-Portuguese European final.

They’ve never been crowned champions domestically, with their best league result ever being the second place in 2010, but they have won the Taca de Portugal (Portuguese Cup) in 1966 and 2016, and the Taca da Liga (League Cup) in 2013.
