History

Futebol Clube de Famalicão was founded on the 21 August 1931 by six friends. Their first match was the opening of their ground, the Campo da Berberia, with a match against FC Porto in 1932. Their first kit was green and white, however, they eventually changed it to blue and white in order to get affiliation from Porto. Famalicão started competing in 1932–33 in the Regional Promotion Championship which they won. In 1945–46, the club reached the semi-finals of the Taça de Portugal under Hungarian manager Janos Szabo, but were beaten 11–0 by a Sporting CP team led by Cândido de Oliveira.{{cite news|title=Famalicão na meia-final da Taça para recordar o passado|trans-title=Famalicão in the semi-final of the Taça to remember the past|url=https://www.rtp.pt/noticias/futebol-nacional/famalicao-na-meia-final-da-taca-para-recordar-o-passado_a1198401|access-date=16 January 2020|publisher=Rádio e Televisão de Portugal|date=16 January 2020|archive-date=25 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200925211813/https://www.rtp.pt/noticias/futebol-nacional/famalicao-na-meia-final-da-taca-para-recordar-o-passado_a1198401|url-status=live}}

The club have spent six years in the Primeira Liga in total - 1946–47, 1978–79, and four consecutively from 1990 to 1994.
