History

The team was founded on 15 August 1920 as the branch number 3 of Lisbon-based Sporting Clube de Portugal (Sporting CP). [1] [2] During the colonial period in Angola, the club won eight times the Angolan Provincial Championship the top division of Angolan football as a Portuguese colony.

Following the country's independence in 1975 and in an attempt by the communist regime to erase all traces of colonial rule, the club which has been created as an affiliate to Sporting Clube de Portugal was ordered to change its name and therefore became known as Diabos Verdes(Green Devils), effective from January 31, 1980. In February 1981, the club's name changed again as Leões de Luanda(Luanda's Lions). On February 24, 1989, with the establishment of democracy, the club was able to reclaim its original name.
