:S.C. Salgueiros

In 1911, a group of friends (João da Silva Almeida, Aníbal Jacinto and Antenor) decided to fund a football club after watching a game that opposed FC Porto and S.L. Benfica at the Campo da Rainha. The friends would gather after work and dinner at lamp 1047 between the streets of Constituição and Particular de Salgueiros to debate ideas and build their new club. Thus was formed Sport Grupo e Salgueiros.

The club had no money at the time, so the three founders decided to gather money by singing Christmas songs from door to door during the 1911 Christmas season. They collected a total of 2800 reis, which was enough to purchase their first football. They decided their jerseys should be red like Benfica's as a way to separate themselves from city rivals FC Porto. Their first pitch would be at the Arca D'Água, and the team's first matches were against Sport Progresso, Carvalhido Football Club, and others.

In the 1916–17 season, the team name was changed to Sport Porto e Salgueiros as a matter of local pride (and maybe also for its similarity with Sport Lisboa e Benfica). However, in 1920, after a profound economical crisis, Sport Porto e Salgueiros decided to join forces with another local club named Sport Comércio. This resulted in the name change of Sport Comércio e Salgueiros.

From the 1930s, when the national leagues commenced, to the 1970s, Sport Comércio e Salgueiros was a mainstay of the Second Division, with the occasional participation in the First Division. That trend changed in the beginning of the 80's, with team being able to maintain respectable placings and playing for several consecutive years in the top tier. The highlight was a 5th place in the 1990–91 season that enabled the club to participate in European competitions for the first (and so far only) time. In the 1991–92 UEFA Cup, Salgueiros played Cannes in the first round and lost on penalties. Among the players in the French team was Zinedine Zidane. Salgueiros last participation in the first division was in the 2001–02 season.

In 2004–05, facing perhaps its biggest economical crisis since its foundation, the senior football team was administratively relegated from the second division to the third-tier league. Due to the financial crisis, all the players in that season were non-professional, mostly upgraded players from the junior team. The club had also recently lost its emblematic stadium, (Estádio Engenheiro Vidal Pinheiro), which had been sold to the city hall in order to build a subway station at its location, and had no home arena in which to play their matches or to practice. Due to the dramatic financial situation and debts, with the club prevented from registering professional players, the senior team ceased to exist at end of the season.

After three years dormant, a Salgueiros team made its comeback to senior football as a new club named Sport Clube Salgueiros 08 for the 2008–09 season.{{Cite web |last=Pinto |first=José Pedro |date=23 December 2008 |title=Salgueiros 08': Um novo nome, os mesmos adeptos |trans-title=Salgueiros 08': A new name, the same fans |url=https://www.jpn.up.pt/2008/12/23/salgueiros-08-um-novo-nome-os-mesmos-adeptos/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241206073619/https://www.jpn.up.pt/2008/12/23/salgueiros-08-um-novo-nome-os-mesmos-adeptos/ |archive-date=6 December 2024 |access-date=18 February 2025 |website=JPN-JornalismoPortoNet |publisher=University of Porto |language=pt}}{{Cite web |title=A Nossa História [Our History] |url=https://scsalgueiros.pt/a-nossa-hist%C3%B3ria |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250211123423/https://scsalgueiros.pt/a-nossa-hist%C3%B3ria |archive-date=February 11, 2025 |access-date=February 11, 2025 |website=Sport Comércio e Salgueiros |language=PT}} However, the youth teams remained using the Sport Comércio e Salgueiros name.

Known mostly for its football section, the club has excelled at several other sports, such as water polo, handball and athletics.

After being runner-up in the 2007 championship Salgueiros renewed the national title in 2008.
