Sporting Clube Olhanense (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈspɔɾtĩɡ ˈklub(ɨ) oʎɐˈnẽs(ɨ)]) is a sports club from Olhão, Algarve, Portugal. Football is the most prominent sport at the club. Olhanense currently play in the Liga Sagres (the top tier of the Portuguese league), having won the Liga de Honra in 2008-09, having previously been the first team from Algarve Football Association to ascend to the top division in 1941. Among its achievements was a 4th place finish in the 1945-46 season and the title of Portuguese Champion in the 1923-24 Campeonato de Portugal, at that time the most important national competition.

[edit] Present Aims

Having been out of the top division since 1975, and after the relegation of their neighbour SC Farense to the under divisions, Olhanense has now become the most prominent football club in the Algarve. Their main rival is now Portimonense SC, the most important team in the western Algarve. Olhanense have now clinched promotion to Liga Sagres after beating Gondomar 1-0.
