Best known for the men's professional [[association football\|football]] team playing in the [[Primeira Liga]], the top flight of [[Portuguese football league system\|Portuguese football]] at the [[Estádio Municipal de Braga]], it also has departments for athletics, badminton, basketball, beach soccer, billiards, boccia, boxing, esports, futsal, karate, kickboxing, muay thai, swimming, taekwondo and volleyball.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=SAPO \|title=SC Braga, o clube "que não conhece impossíveis", inaugura pavilhão \|url=https://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/primeira-liga/artigos/sc-braga-o-clube-que-nao-conhece-impossiveis-inaugura-pavilhao \|access-date=2023-12-07 \|website=SAPO Desporto \|language=pt}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|title=Sporting Clube de Braga \|url=https://scbraga.pt/ \|access-date=2023-12-07 \|website=Sporting Clube de Braga \|language=pt-PT}}</ref> Founded on 19 January 1921, Braga are nicknamed, ''Braguistas'', and ''Os Arsenalistas'' (The Arsenalists) for the shirt colour that resembles English club [[Arsenal FC\|Arsenal]]. Since 2003, Braga have played their home matches at the [[Estádio Municipal de Braga]], which replaced the [[Estádio 1º de Maio]], now used for the [[S.C. Braga B\|club's reserve team]]. Unlike most European sporting entities, Braga's members (''sócios'') owned and operated the club throughout its history. Line 57: In the 2000s, Braga became [[Football in Portugal#List of teams by major honours\|one of Portugal's most decorated clubs]] (5th) after the [[Big Three (Portugal)\|Big Three]] and has had some success in European competitions, winning the last [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]] (the only Portuguese club to do so) in 2008, and reaching the final of the [[UEFA Europa League]] [[2011 UEFA Europa League Final\|in 2011]], cultivating the reputation of being the fourth strongest club in Portugal, outside of the Big Three.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Hopkins \|first=Oliver \|date=2022-09-27 \|title=Braga's Push to Break the Big Three Hegemony in Portugal \|url=https://theanalyst.com/2022/09/braga-push-to-break-the-big-three-hegemony-in-portugal/ \|access-date=2022-10-15 \|website=The Analyst \|language=en \|archive-date=21 April 2023 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230421054300/https://theanalyst.com/na/2022/09/braga-push-to-break-the-big-three-hegemony-in-portugal/ \|url-status=live }}</ref> Domestically, they have also won another 7 domestic trophies: three [[Taça de Portugal]] in [[1965–66 Taça de Portugal\|1965–66]], [[2015–16 Taça de Portugal\|2015–16]], and in [[2020–21 Taça de Portugal\|2020–21]], and the [[Taça da Liga]] three times in [[2012–13 Taça da Liga\|2012–13]], [[2019–20 Taça da Liga\|2019–20]] and [[2023–24 Taça da Liga\|2023–24]]. Braga have a long-standing rivalry with nearby club [[Vitória S.C.\|Vitória de Guimarães]], with whom they contest the ''Derby do Minho''. The club qualified for the [[2010–11 UEFA Champions League]], reaching the competition for the first time in their history, by eliminating [[Celtic F.C.\|Celtic]] and [[Sevilla FC\|Sevilla]] following a 2nd -place finish in the [[2009–10 Primeira Liga]] season. This represented the highest finish in the league in the club's history. Moreover, in the 2010s, Braga have cultivated a reputation for spotting and developing young talent, and have remained focused on developing a [[youth system]]. ==History== Line 103: In the 1960s and 1970s, Braga began to climb up the league ladder and eventually participated in the [[UEFA]] competitions. Braga's recent run of successive European participations began in the [[2004–05 UEFA Cup]] after finishing fifth in the league under [[Jesualdo Ferreira]]'s first full season in the club. In the [[2006–07 UEFA Cup]], the side reached the last 16 before a 6–4 aggregate loss to [[Tottenham Hotspur]].<ref>{{cite news \|last1=Sinnott \|first1=John \|title=Tottenham 3-2 Braga (agg 6-4) \|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/6444731.stm \|access-date=3 July 2020 \|publisher=BBC Sport \|date=14 March 2007 \|archive-date=24 March 2007 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070324031017/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/6444731.stm \|url-status=live }}</ref> That summer, the club signed a three-year sponsorship deal with French insurance company [[Axa]], who took over the naming rights for the stadium for €4.5 million;<ref>{{cite news \|title=Futebol: Sporting de Braga cede nome do estadio a seguradora AXA por 4,5 milhoes em tres anos \|trans-title=Football: Sporting de Braga cede name of stadium to insurers AXA for 4.5 million over three years \|url=https://www.jn.pt/arquivo/2007/futebol-sporting-de-braga-cede-nome-do-estadio-a-seguradora-axa-por-45-milhoes-em-tres-anos-698860.html \|access-date=3 July 2020 \|work=Jornal de Notícias \|date=9 July 2007 \|language=pt \|archive-date=4 July 2020 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200704165903/https://www.jn.pt/arquivo/2007/futebol-sporting-de-braga-cede-nome-do-estadio-a-seguradora-axa-por-45-milhoes-em-tres-anos-698860.html \|url-status=live }}</ref> this was renewed for a further three years in 2010.<ref>{{cite news \|title=Sporting de Braga e AXA renovam parceria por mais três anos \|trans-title=Sporting de Braga and AXA renew partnership for three more years \|url=https://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/primeira-liga/artigos/sporting-de-braga-e-axa-renovam-parceria-por-mais-tres-anos \|access-date=3 July 2020 \|publisher=SAPO \|date=22 June 2010 \|language=pt \|archive-date=5 July 2020 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200705080603/https://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/primeira-liga/artigos/sporting-de-braga-e-axa-renovam-parceria-por-mais-tres-anos \|url-status=live }}</ref> Braga won the 2008 [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]] and again reached the UEFA Cup last 16 in the ~~2008-09~~2008–09 season, where they lost by a single goal to [[Paris Saint-Germain]].<ref>{{cite news \|title=Timely Hoarau makes wasteful Braga pay \|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01d7-0e711b552590-7f4efc8864f7-1000/ \|access-date=3 July 2020 \|publisher=UEFA \|date=19 March 2009 \|archive-date=6 July 2020 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200706134053/https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01d7-0e711b552590-7f4efc8864f7-1000/ \|url-status=live }}</ref> Braga was runners-up in the league for the only time in its history in the ~~2009-10~~2009–10 season under [[Domingos Paciência]].
