Académico Futebol Clube, or more commonly known as Académico do Porto, is a Portuguese football club founded in 1911, in Paranhos, Porto.[1] They were one of the eight teams taking part in the first Primeira Liga season, the main division in the Portuguese football league system, in 1934–35. They went to play in the league an additional four times. Later Académico lost its ground and ended the professional football team. Instead of favouring the return of the football team, they invested in other sports, namely in basketball, roller hockey and team handball, a policy that still remains.
