==History==
Founded in 1918, Feirense played only three [[Primeira Liga]] seasons in the 20th century – [[1962–63 Primeira Divisão|1962–63]], [[1977–78 Primeira Divisão|1977–78]] and [[1989–90 Primeira Divisão|1989–90]] – being relegated in each one. In [[2009–10 Liga de Honra|2009–10]], the club came close to ending a two-decade exile but missed out on the last day, as local rivals [[S.C. Beira-Mar]] went up with [[Portimonense SC]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Martins |first1=Arnaldo |title=Beira-Mar e Portimonense sobem à Liga|trans-title=Beira-Mar and Portimonense promoted to the Liga|url=https://www.jn.pt/desporto/beira-mar-e-portimonense-sobem-a-liga-1564506.html |access-date=20 October 2020 |work=[[Jornal de Notícias]] |date=8 May 2010 |language=pt}}</ref>

The following year, Feirense went one better by coming second, missing out on the title on goal difference to [[Gil Vicente F.C.]] and winning promotion under [[Quim Machado]] in May 2011.<ref>{{cite news |title=Quim Machado renova|trans-title=Quim Machado renews |url=https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/2--liga/feirense/detalhe/quim-machado-renova-700117?ref=Feirense_BucketDestaquesPrincipais |access-date=20 October 2020 |work=[[Record (Portuguese newspaper)|Record]] |date=31 May 2011 |language=pt}}</ref> However, a year later they were relegated.<ref>{{cite news |title=Académica garante permanência e Feirense desce de divisão|trans-title=Académica guarantee survival and Feirense go down a division |url=https://www.cmjornal.pt/desporto/detalhe/academica-garante-permanencia-e-feirense-desce-de-divisao |access-date=3 May 2025 |work=[[Correio da Manhã (Portugal)|Correio da Manhã]] |date=12 May 2012 |language=pt}}</ref> A four-season spell in the second tier ended with promotion in third place in May 2016, under manager [[José Mota (footballer, born 1964)|José Mota]].<ref>{{cite news |title=José Mota e a festa da subida: "Ficar no Feirense?
