Two years later, Porto began competing in a regional championship, and in 1922 they won the inaugural edition of the Campeonato de Portugal, the first nationwide club competition, to become the first Portuguese champions. In 1934, an experimental two-tier league competition was introduced in Portuguese football; four years later, the first-level Primeira Liga was officially established as the top-tier league championship, from which Porto have never been relegated. Involved in international competitions since 1956, the club beat Bayern Munich in the 1987 European Cup Final to win its first continental silverware.
