History

VFC Sétubal played in the inaugural Campeonato da Liga in 1934–35.[2][3]

In 1964–65, Vitória FC Setúbal won their first Taca de Portugal, beating holders S.L. Benfica 3–1 in the final. After losing 1–0 to SC Braga in the next season's final, Vitória won the 1967 final by beating Académica 3–2 after extra-time.[4]

Vitória's Cup victories allowed them to compete in the European Cup-Winners' Cup. They lost 4–2 on aggregate in the first round to AGF Aarhus in 1965–66[5] and 7–3 on aggregate to Bayern Munich in the second round in 1967–68.[6]

Vitória Setubal played in the Fairs Cup in 1969–70, knocking Liverpool out in the second round.[7][8] In the next round they were eliminated 2–1 on aggregate by Hertha Berlin.[8]

In the 1973–74 season, Vitória de Setúbal finished in third place, four points behind champions Sporting CP.[9]

After another yo-yo period from the mid-1980s to the mid-2000s, Vitória returned to the Portuguese top flight for the 2004–05 season and have remained there since.[10] The same season saw them win their third Cup, beating holders Benfica 2–1 in the final on 29 May. On 13 August, the two clubs played the Super Cup against each other at the Estádio do Algarve, with Benfica winning 1–0.[11]
