Football

edit

The football club became champion of the Segunda Divisão seven times. In the 1969–70 season, FC Barreirense achieved its highest place ever in the Primeira Divisão, reaching fourth place. That team included player Manuel Bento. The following year, the club represented the country in the 1970–71 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. They managed to win 2–0 against Dinamo Zagreb in Barreiro, but lost in the away game with 6–1 and were immediately eliminated.

Barreirense's major rival is Fabril, formerly Quimigal, with whom they have shared many seasons from the Primeira Liga all the way down to the Setúbal FA League.

Barreirense was known as a former of young players that developed impressive careers in the service of the biggest clubs and the Portugal national team. In particular, Benfica have scouted many talents from Barreirense, including Arsénio Duarte, Manuel Bento, José Augusto, Carlos Manuel, and João Cancelo.[1][2]
