CM 2008 >
Guides > League Guides > Portuguese Super League
The Portuguese Super League is an improving
competition, but its development has been stifled by the dominance of
'the big three' - Benfica, Sporting and Porto - with the only other team
to have won the league since 1946, being Boavista in the 2000/01 season.
League Structure:
-
Top 3 teams qualify for Champions League - 3rd placed team has to go
through qualifying rounds
-
The Portuguese Cup winners and the teams finishing 4th and 5th qualify
for UEFA Cup
- Bottom 2 teams are relegated

CM 2010 section
We will soon be starting work on our new CM 2010 section, which should
be up within the next week. I hope to build up some
comprehensive lists of all the best players, tactics, set pieces
routines and training schedules. I am also hoping to
start a new Lower League Section, with help and guides
for those who chose to start their managerial careers further
down the footballing ladder. If anyone is interested in
helping with the Lower League section or any other area of the
site, then please send me an e-mail at
